The SLS worked the first time.

In 2018, right? When's the 2nd launch supposed to be?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

the sls has been in development for 13 years, and 24 billion dollars spent, and it has managed one uncrewed launch, and the cost per launch is expected to be 2 billion. i do not like elon musk, but spacex (and other launch startups) are clearly more innovative and get things done faster and cheaper.

The single launch also cost more than all of Starship to date.
