> lobbying Congress to cancel a program that spreads manufacturing
It's not lobbying to cancel a program, it's lobbying to replace a program with another. That other program may bring jobs in the same places; it's actually quite convenient to do so, since there are not that many people around with expertise in rocket manufacturing.
- DylanSp 3y agoGiven SpaceX's heavy use of vertical integration, I highly doubt that it'll spread as many jobs around as SLS currently does.
- credit_guy 3y agoIt’s not going to be 100% replacement, but it could be 50%. And Musk’s lobby machine could find some more extra sweateners here and there. Or you think only Boeing and Lockheed have lobbyists?
