Let me guess, they have a whole industry of rock pickers for NASA set up in Alabama?

It's gonna blow up.

Puts perspective to how the current SLS got built if those were it's competing designs.

>strapping 3-5 cores together
>short-stack delta heavy
>some freakish mating of the shuttle tanks and a energia looking design
All built specifically to feed shuttle contractors.

Fortunately almost none of that is going to be derailed because Sh*lby says Fuck Off every time someone threatens Alabama's gibs

>safe and reliable power systems
He's scuttling future moon projects. Biden will be too afraid of lefty environmentalists to reverse this and it will take 8+ years to get anything built that's 'safe and reliable' by NASAs current standards.

Fuck, wrong one.

Unreliable. All contracts now go to Boeing and ULA.

Big vent. Scrubbed. Oldspace wins again.

I'm screwed.

Mr Shadow shall ensure that no rocket launches until SLS gets another round of funding!

The space industry and human survival, which you so nobly talk of, comes from the need for jobs, money and votes. Now take this space launch mandate. Here it is: economic, scientific... boring. But if it is spread across the country.. now look at all these little contractors! So busy now! Notice how each one is useful. A lovely little ballet ensues, so full of form and color. Now, think about all those people that created those rocket parts. Technicians, engineers, hundreds of people. You see, father, by causing a little destruction, I am in fact encouraging the continuation of life. In reality, Musk and I are in the same business.
