Building a rocket that is hard to launch and costs a fortune is a boondoggle. Talented scientists and engineers can waste their time building the wrong thing.

- mcdonje 4y agoWhat other current rocket system matches the specs of the SLS, or has the same goals? The only thing comparable is Starship, which isn't ready yet. There are legitimate complaints to be made about things like cost plus accounting, but the project itself isn't a boondoggle. Like, the people who greenlit it aren't idiots. If you want to complain about boondoggles, look at the military.
