I thought /sci/ hated the SLS? How would its explosive failure BTFO /sci/?

>implying /sci/ is one person
>implying everyone on /sci/ is a muskfag

the shitbucket will fly, then at some point someone will point out how mind numbingly expensive and retarded the whole thing is, with few launches. it will quietly be shelved and memory holed and other cheaper options will be used. Honestly the entire thing has been a shitshow

Reddit tier post. You have to go back.

You could probably build a space elevator on the Moon using Starship and it would cost less than the Artemis program.

>>14979528

what will they say when it launches ?

>one small step for NASA, one giant check for Boeing.

>>14979528
I hope it flies successfully. More rockets is better than fewer rockets. More spaceships are better than fewer spaceships.

Speak for yourself

lol

Hypothetical question. Let's say the moon landings really were faked. Do NASA people know this and Artemis is all a sham, or they actually believe they can make it to the moon because they think Apollo made in in 1969? I would think if they faked it back then, they would know that at some point in the future, someone would try to go back.

The thing that pisses me off most of all is the media blaming NASA for Boeing / ULA failing to deliver on a contract that ran years late and billions over budget.

Why would the diversity hires currently working at the North American Welfare Agency know anything about the 1960s operations? All the tapes and files were burned in the 70s according to NASA themselves.

RUD 1:30 into flight.

>>14979528
this shit was supposed to launch back in july

>>14980147
I mean you do have to at least partially blame NASA for letting contractors milk them of their budget.

>>14980204
What can they do, threaten to take away a contract? There is way too much politics involved for NASA to do anything but what they are told and when they are told to give incompetent companies major contracts they have to play ball.
The only way NASA returns to their former glory is either ditch contractors and build everything in house or let them pick their own contractors with no political pressure.

>>14980136
They know it landed but they know that they don't know how the Germans made it do so.

>>14979528
The rocket is fake

>>14979825
>le reddit
very based and ebin anon its important to make every thread about reddit

>>14979528
lol i a team in my department has a cube sat on that rocket.
it's been a total clusterfuck since day one.

>>14979528
>he thinks it's going to actually going to launch this time

>>14980147
Giving any contract to Boeing at all should be met with heavy criticism in itself.

>>14979597
You don't have to be a muskfag to see what an absolute waste of money and effort this shit is.

>>14980791
While Boeing certainly dropped the ball, I don't think its bad that SLS will be built and flown.

>>14980792
That's not really saying anything, delays happen. I can still remember when Falcon Heavy was supposed to have its maiden flight in 2013.
Spaceflight development is just not going to happen as quickly as it did back in the 60s.

great analysis, friend

Fuck off nigget

>>14981696
I'm talking about making better rockets instead of wasting time, money and expertise on a dead end pork barrel project designed by politicians
I don't let CURRENT THING live in my head

>>14979528
1 more day

>>14979528
My Boeing stock is ready. Boeing shares will literally moon if the SLS launch is successful.

>>14980791
>what an absolute waste of money and effort this shit is

No, that would be a rocket that is launched into LEO, then has to wait for seven nearly identical launches in order to give it the fuel to go anywhere.

>implying you spent time and money figuring out how to fuel a rocket parked in LEO anyway

>massive
>powerful
>single use
>expensive
>wasteful (because we are rich and can afford it)
SLS is a great American rocket in every sense of the word just like the Saturn V that took Apollo to the Moon. SLS is everything a rocket should be. If you disagree you're not a true American.

>>14985601
disgusting

/sci/ GETS BTFO IN A FEW HOURS

>>14980182
How much money do you think they save by just delaying it 4 times instead of blowing up 4 rockets?

>>14985643
Except it has less thrust than a Saturn V and cost much more. Even the discount rockets the Russkies make are better than the SLS. Energia rapes it in power and wasn't even finished.

/sci/ BTFO with no recovery

Hasn't made a difference for defense spending...
