    Yesterday kind of sucked for me, so yeah.

    The recent news about the exploration upper stage delays just highlights
    the dumpster fire that is SLS.

    Good news is that the Falcon Block 5 will start flying very soon.
    Hoping for the best there, since it contains the changes NASA wanted for
    a "man rated" Falcon 9. Reuse should be possible up to 100 times with refurbishing every 10 flights (if all goes according to plan).

    Yes Sls is like most Nasa projects, late and very much a victim of the
    spread out way they do things over there. they don't seem to have the right movers and shkers at the contractors etc.
