Isn't this 30% more than the previous time SLS cost 30% more than it's original estimate? I want to see this thing fly, but Jesus Christ I hate how terrible it's managed.

>In her update, Lueders said she was "confident" that a November 2021 launch date for the rocket is achievable
Like in November 2020? Or June 2020? 2019? 2017? 2014?

>However, she cited a few caveats to this. For one, she said, "It is still too early to predict the full impact of COVID-19."
Excuses. NASA has thousands of engineers, it should be easy to find some who don't have the coof and are willing to live in quarantine to make this rocket fly.

JWST? Delayed again? Oh my god, I'm so surprised. How could this happen?

Oh no, that's so tragic. I had no idea that this could happen. aaaaa

Seriously, why hasn't this project been given the whip yet?

>No, I think it's like this...
That doesn't sound convoluted at all. If NASA is just going to the moon to plant flags and take selfies, then why not just go for a more direct mission like Apollo? I mean, they're already trying to reenact it.

Just wait until some argue that SLS is superior because it can send stuff directly to the moon yet Starship has to refuel in LEO. Or that SLS's max C3 value is greater than Starship's. Or that SLS is "more American" than Starship. Or something just as asinine.
