A good first step, but having SLS in the first place is the real problem. Of course, it’s easier for the GAO to show that not competing various components violates the law than to show choosing an HLV is almost inherently uncompetitive. Let’s hope the result isn’t that some SLS components will now be competed and we’ll be stuck with it for another thirty years while NASA can say “see, it was competed fairly” .
If it’s competed, it will lose whatever support in Congress it currently has. The whole point of the exercise was to direct the funds in a certain desired direction.
Well, let’s hope so. Are you completely confident it wouldn’t result in my doom scenario?
No, who knows how irrational Congress can be? Except I think that once the fiscal hammer really comes down, and they don’t get to direct the funds where they want by law, they’ll lose interest in it.
I think Miss Piggy is not the slightest bit concerned , yet ..
I don’t care. SLS is awesome.
An awsome amount of money spent on an awsomely huge vehicle with an awsomely small probability of actually being built and an awesome amount of money flushed with awsomely small actual results.
Yep, thats awesome. But not in a positive sense.
