We shouldn’t overreact, as Berger points out none of the relevant appointments have been made. It’s still a stunning report with huge implications. Here’s the full quote:
To be clear we are *far* from anything being settled, but based on what I’m hearing it seems at least 50-50 that NASA’s Space Launch System rocket will be canceled. Not Block 1B. Not Block 2. All of it. There are other ways to get Orion to the Moon.
Wow!! I think most of us assumed cancellation was politically impossible, so it’s going to be very interesting to watch the fallout of this report. What will be the battlelines in Congress?
