How many failing projects can you run simultaneously Boeing?

That looks amazing. Here's hoping we get a crewed version soon.

The fact that SLS is assembled in one state, travels to another state for testing and neither of those states is Florida shows why the old-school funding model is so expensive -- and so intractable. Michoud, Stennis, Huntsville, Houston, Kennedy. Congress spreads the pork everywhere.
