Didn't we already go to the moon starting 56 years ago? Isn't NASA's job to build a bridge to the Muslim world?

Uhhh, didn’t we already beat them to it, like 50+ years ago?

Adding to the wasted module, SLS and Orion only flew once for the uncrewed Artemis I mission in November 2022. The Trump administration has effectively flushed $47.5 billion down the toilet, according to Time. The stiffest complaints thrown at Artemis have been the budget overruns and development delays. These cancellations would only worsen the situation as NASA is forced to return to square one.

Maybe this time we can cut our losses early. The STS Orbiters cost around $2B per flight in 2025 dollars. I don't know why we're trying to spend so much again when private companies are much cheaper. Just build the hardware and contract out the launches.

Bullstuff. Fedgov is insanely wasteful when it comes to space flight. The standards are the standards, but the red tape going through NASA are stupidly expensive.

Let the free market figure out how to do it less expensively, IF it is worth doing to begin with.

Otherwise the urinalists are simply peeing on themselves again.

Ummm, the single mission the capsule flew was in 2022, as I read it. How does President Trump not throwing good money afte bad mean he squandered the money spent by the previous administration?
