Dude no one is saying that we won’t need scientists. It’s just that a lot of scientists are hippie retards.

Ironically if they'd gone with the F-1B boosters and funded EUS properly, SLS would still be the best way to get cargo to the moon without orbital refueling. SLS Block 1 is just an all around pointless rocket. Maybe they'll revive those Orion plans via commercial rockets when Starship lands on the moon and destroys SLS's entire reason for existing.

>Orion was supposed to ferry astronauts to the ISS and back regularly
>There were plans to build a bigger Cygnus and attach it to the Orion service module

Wtf. Orion got so damn cucked jesus I feel bad for her.
