Just let Musk and Bezos do it. It will be faster and cheaper. And the video will be a lot better. And you know the astronauts will be cooler.

Would be hilarious if there were a starship with a couple dozen passengers waiting there when Artemis finally does arrive at the moon

Boeing, or BOING!, is involved. Costs in that woke company always go beyond reasonable.

$15 billion?
With that kind of financing, Elon would be selling subdivisions, turning the $15 billion into real money.

The use of heritage RS-25 engines and boosters from the space shuttle and Constellation programs for the new SLS rocket was intended to bring significant cost and schedule savings over developing new systems. But the "complexity of developing, updating, and integrating new systems along with heritage components proved to be much greater than anticipated, When lawyers and politicians play at doing engineering ...

And another six billion dollars when this significant six billion dollar cost overrun is used up.

“But the “complexity of developing, updating, and integrating new systems along with heritage components proved to be much greater than anticipated,” according to the report.“
You know how the engines were used. You know what they were tested to. You know what you need them to do in the new rocket…shouldn’t an engineer have been able to throw a little doubt at the spitballing stage?

Same problem the Neocons are having in trying to beef up our military to fight Russia and China (and at the same time, LOL) - seems that we let most of our military industrial base rot-on-vine over the past 35 years.
...so it takes time, and huge money, to get it back - which is a good reason to not be starting up World War 3 right now.

Oh jeez. They always do this. NASA and the contractors knew it would cost more up front. The original projection was knowing lies. Congress knows too. Buncha crooks.

Manned space flight, under current technology, is a waste of resources. We will achieve far more advances in space technology far faster if it is done through robotics and AI. The cost of life support in space makes this so.

They always lowball the estimated before the project starts to get it approved, but once it’s rolling, the bad news trickles out.

"These significant increases were caused by a variety of
long-standing, interrelated management issues impacting
both the SLS development campaign and the wider
Artemis program, the report notes, including
"some of which represent potential violations of federal
contracting requirements." " Yeah sure. Why don't you try and get some of our
back from Ukraine? How much has Biden given them so
far --- at least $100 billion dollars?
"Long-standing interrelated management issues?"
What a laugh.
