Another Classic episode that examines just how insanely expensive the SLS rocket is by comparing the costs of a single rocket to some things it could buy here on Earth.
Also, I'm not one to complain and not offer solutions so this video lays out exactly what NASA's Artemis program SHOULD be doing.
Reasons for the Obscene Cost of the SLS Rocket:
The Space Launch System (SLS) rocket is considered obscenely expensive due to a combination of factors that have contributed to its high costs:
1. Development Costs: The development costs of the SLS program have been a significant contributor to its expense. The program has faced numerous delays and setbacks, leading to increased spending on research, design, and testing phases.
2. Production Costs: The production costs of the SLS rocket have also been a major factor in its high price tag. The complexity of building such a massive rocket, along with the need for specialized components and technologies, has driven up production expenses.
3. Lack of Transparency: NASA’s lack of transparency regarding the costs associated with the SLS program has made it difficult for taxpayers and oversight bodies to fully understand where the money is being spent. This lack of clarity can lead to inefficiencies and cost overruns.
4. Affordability Concerns: There have been concerns raised about the affordability of the SLS program, with reports indicating that it may be unsustainable in the long run. The inability to accurately monitor and control production costs has added to these worries.
5. Future Hardware Costs: Delays in the development of key components like the Exploration Upper Stage have impacted the overall timeline and cost estimates for future Artemis missions, further adding to the expense of the program.
In summary, a combination of high development costs, expensive production processes, lack of transparency, affordability concerns, and delays in hardware development have all contributed to making the SLS rocket obscenely expensive.
