AkaSci 🛰️Here is a video showing the assembly of the core stage of the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans.The 212-foot core stage was transported to the Pegasus barge this week. The barge will ferry the stage more than 900 miles to KSC in Florida, where engineers will prepare it in the Vehicle Assembly Building for attachment to other rocket and Orion spacecraft elements.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tdMaYXTo8U" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tdMaYXTo8U</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/NASA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NASA</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SLS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SLS</a> 4/n

Spaceflight 🚀<a href="https://spacey.space/tags/SLS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SLS</a> is a boondoggle. The conception and execution of the project has been a near-perfect example of <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/PorkBarrel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PorkBarrel</a> politics. Pork barrels are lousy ways to advance technology. Just a fraction of the $23bn 💰 spent on the <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/SLS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SLS</a> could make an enormous difference. <a href="https://www.economist.com/leaders/2022/08/28/nasas-newest-rocket-is-a-colossal-waste-of-money" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.economist.com/leaders/2022/08/28/nasas-newest-rocket-is-a-colossal-waste-of-money</a>

Spaceflight 🚀Adjusted for inflation, the cost of one launch of the <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/SaturnV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaturnV</a> in the 📆 1960s was around $1.5 billion 💰, which is a far cry from the $4 billion 💰💰💰💰 required for just one <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/SLS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SLS</a> launch <a href="https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/32011-nasas-powerful-and-contraversial-sls-rocket-ready-to-launch" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/32011-nasas-powerful-and-contraversial-sls-rocket-ready-to-launch</a><a href="https://spacey.space/tags/SenateLaunchSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SenateLaunchSystem</a>

It sounds like a straightforward argument: cancel the slow and outdated SLS and direct its $2.6 billion 💰 per year into novel public-private partnerships like <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/SpaceX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpaceX</a>’s <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/Starship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Starship</a> <a href="https://www.planetary.org/articles/why-we-have-the-sls" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.planetary.org/articles/why-we-have-the-sls</a>

The report further criticizes the use of <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/CostPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CostPlus</a> contracts, a fee structure by which essentially all of the risk is taken on by the government. <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/13/congress-prepares-to-continue-throwing-money-at-nasas-space-launch-system/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/13/congress-prepares-to-continue-throwing-money-at-nasas-space-launch-system/</a>
