Imagine only ever making a single rocket that will someday be the exact one that goes to orbit, and not making prototypes along the way to test out various systems. Then imagine finding flaws in it that are buried so deep that you have to spend a year taking it apart and putting it back together again just to reach the bad part to fix it, so you just say "fuck it, it's redundant". Then imagine you try to start it up and it fails for some random reason that takes you a month to figure out what happened, all because you never built disposable prototypes to test subsystems, and now you've got hundreds of them that weren't previously tested.
SLS: cost plus contracting's best friend forever!
