>the people in charge of SLS are bad
Yes they are, a decent NTR would be designed to push a payload to TLI / TMI, undock and then burn retrograde to stay in LEO. This way you keep refueling the same NTR for decades until fuel decay kills it.
For some reason NASA just can't get orbital refueling past congress.

>replace Shuttle SRBs with 2 SLS's
>keep external tank full during launch for TLI and lunar orbit insertion
>fill cargo bay with propellant
Why isn't this the most practical solution? It uses existing hardware and keeps all shuttle contractors on the payroll while avoiding the evils of orbital refueling.

Ding Dong!
The Witch is DEAD!

>At least, with Biden, you can be sure SLS will get cancelled.
If Biden even suggests cancelling SLS, Shelby will personally lead every single redneck and hoodrat in Alabama in a march to DC to overthrow the POTUS and rebuild the nation as the United States of Boeing.
It will never happen.

THAT DON'T SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GONNA CREATE MORE JOBS.

Just enough for Huntsville, Alabama to develop a lander prototype over 20 years.
