It Sounds Like NASA's Moon Rocket Might Be Getting Canceled

NASA's plagued Space Launch System rocket, which is being developed to deliver the first astronauts to the Moon, is on thin ice.

America spends so much more money than anyone else in every area of production and gets so little for it. for sure not corruption though as we have carefully, narrowly defined it

    Wow, what a pathetic ending to America's space ambitions to have its 20+ year struggle to return to the moon quashed at the same time it has to decommission its major space station without a clear replacement. If SLS is canceled, then the Lunar Gateway program is even more pointless than it was before.

      At least the R&D that's gone into Gateway will be useful for future space stations. Gateway's only real problem is its purpose and location. The technology is genuinely innovative.
