Is this the power of the Shuttle stack?

Shelby hating depots is a meme because it's actually somewhat rational from his perspective - he wants to keep SLS jobs and investment in Alabama for his constituents, and if propellant depots exist, you can do any mission the SLS can do with smaller, cheaper rockets, so there's no need for SLS. That establishes a certain minimum level of knowledge about rocketry he has, or at least his that his staffers have, which makes it funny.

I doubt that Russia would do much to push spaceflight unless they clean up their corruption (which is apparently worse than what Shelby and crew is doing with NASA). As for non-American spaceflight, China has a really good chance to push it.
