I find it sad that cheeleading defeat for NASA, the agency that put Americans on the moon has become fashionable for some.

I can only explain it that it’s a hatred for all things government.

I find it sad that cheeleading defeat for NASA, the agency that put Americans on the moon has become fashionable for some.

And I find it sad that your reading comprehension is so poor that you would imagine that I am "cheerleading defeat for NASA."

Unlike the porkers in Congress, I am trying to help NASA succeed.

Attacking SLS is not “helping” NASA.

[NonZeroSum]

What is not helping NASA is building SLS. It is a rocket to nowhere, designed by the Senate, and eating up all the budget that could actually be used to do useful things in space.

Boy that Saturn V sure is expensive. And the Apollo capsule killed three astronauts. Cancel that pig!!!!!

[NonZeroSum]

Boy that Saturn V sure is expensive.

Yes, it was. That's why Apollo was canceled.

SLS would repeat that, but more intelligent plans would be more sustainable.
