NASA does amazing things.

The SLS just isn't one of them. It is a temporary Frankenstein resulting from the complications of adapting to a sudden uptick in private space transit, while necessarily maintaining congressional demand/funding continuity. A special dance well known for not being strictly reality based.

So my criticism of SLS isn't criticism of NASA leadership. I cannot imagine how difficult their job is. The nature of the beast is some waste is unavoidable.

In the meantime, lots of NASA projects are stellar.
