A private company has launched a hundred rockets and landed a lot of them in the same time frame as the SLS has taken to have a failed engine.

When people speak of the incompetence of government. Remember than an actual African American immigrant is doing stuff that even no other government or entity on this planet can do.

The sls is a failed joke. And nasa should just keep to sucking off Muslims and let do our thing.

Eh, it's not NASA so much as a completely clueless Congress. NASA was forced to build SLS so Congress would approve Commercial Crew.

When the Shuttle was operational it seemed to me like it flew on pure money and magic.

One of the many things I like about Starship development is that so many people are spending so much time detailing all the aspects of its operation.

I'm looking forward to when someone gets around to printing the official manual on these things.
