This timing is suspicious/convenient, but I can't pretend SLS was some well managed project or necessary to propel the future of space exploration. This rocket was a bust even before president elon was involved, it was only a matter of time before it got dragged behind the barn.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

My thoughts exactly. SLS has been a train wreck, but we all know the real reason it's coming now.
Yea doing the right the thing for the wrong reason is unfortunately the only way things get done in america since forever.
While I'd love to just nationalize space-x that isn't even in the zeitgeist yet and Boeing has to be destroyed before such a thing is possible.
Lonny at work for sure. Next all government agents will be required to use X for chat with Starlink internet. He really wants his money back from that stupid deal.
I work on Artemis. Will be real bummed if I have to find a new job. Hope they replace it with something that isn't just SpaceX
Creating a monopoly for SpaceX. Monopolies really are the best way to amass wealth.
If only there were some sort of anti capitalism board game to show how much monopolies sucked. Then maybe we'd get it.
We just need one that doesn't suck giant donkey balls.
Good.
