I can't get excited about the SLS April 2, 2022 11:42 am RobVG

It’s late, billions over budget and the eventual payload costs will be far higher than estimated.
NASA has contracted SpaceX to handle the task of ferrying astronauts from lunar orbit to the surface and has allowed Blue Origin to submit a bid for the same job.
Why not shelve the SLS and let SpaceX to get us to the moon as well as land on it? Granted SpaceX hasn’t put a Starship in orbit- yet.
