"The SLS is draining away the lifeblood of the space program"

Looks like Orion/SLS will be an unmitigated disaster for spaceflight (both crewed and uncrewed) – sigh. At the current rate, a single (!) launch of an Orion capsule by an SLS launch vehicle will cost up to 14 billion (!) USD.

Instead of worrying of their "dependence" on Russian launch vehicles, the people in the US space industry should worry that they are being robbed blind by the major privateers private companies in the aerospace industry.
