> was definitely not money wasted

Sorry, it was absolutely wasted. We could have predictably achieved those benefits for less and quicker, with tens of billions to spare.

Maybe avmich is thinking of the STS (the Space Shuttle)

True :) I completely agree that we'd be better without SLS, but STS is another story. My misunderstanding of what was meant.

Probably. The STS was a real advance although crippled by stupid requirements. SLS is nothing new.
