Summary
Elon Musk and his advisers are pressuring Trump to cancel NASA’s $24 billion Space Launch System (SLS), citing high costs and outdated technology.
GOP lawmakers from Alabama and Texas oppose the move due to job losses and national security concerns.
Critics favor SpaceX’s cheaper, reusable Starship, but supporters argue SLS has already flown successfully and is more powerful.
Former NASA administrator Bill Nelson believes SLS will survive, as Trump likely wants to be the president who oversees the next moon landing.
Like this MF would last the 10 years that would take.
Ugh I can just imagine the brain dead boomers now, “nobody else has been able to do it for 60 years, but Trump did it!”
I also don’t see how President Musk would ever allow Trump to oversee it.
Bruh, just let him believe it. Trying to argue against keeping NASA isn’t the best angle, atm.
Right? That’s like #273,836 on the list of shit to scrutinize.
