SLS is on track and here to stay. I will predict that the program will be at least as successful as Apollo.

If its liberal or progressive, we don’t need it.

The program is on track for a Dec 2014 test of the Orion spacecraft atop a delta IV heavy and on track for more testing 2015-2017.

What is needed is more reporting from the media. As of today, most news outlets report that the US Manned Space Program is dead and will not be coming back-ever, if they report anything at all.

The next strategy is to start creating SLS/Orion themed toys to include Legos, plastic model kits, die cast, etc. to fire up the imagination of our young people who will grow up to fly these systems.

We don’t need to worry about all this while Obama is in office, he really doesn’t care about the space program and has made many attempts to steer NASA off track of its mandate by encouraging silly programs like multicultural programs in the middle east.

Once we have real serious leaders in Congress and the Whitehouse, we will the SLS/Orion program moving full speed ahead.

==== ==
The agency is in ruins BECAUSE IT IS GOVT… just like Dept of Ed, Dept of Energy, USPS, etc, etc..
Govt corrupts, screws up, bankrupts everything it touches… always has, always will, CAN’T BE FIXED.. Govt can only be minimized and decentralized to reduce what it can steal..
Nasa has not gotten an American beyond low earth orbit in 40 years despite $500 billion blown on US manned space.. and Nasa leaves itself incompetent/incapable of crewing or even resupplying our own space station..

We need to downsize/eliminate Nasa… close it’s dead wood centers/hq…
let private enterprise and Caltech’s JPL take the lead.

=== ==
The reason SLS/Orion is so hugely expensive and will still slip it’s budget/schedule is because Nasa is incompetent/incapable… as demonstrated by Shuttle, ISS, Constellation… all far over budget and under delivering…

Govt/Nasa IS NOT GOING TO GET BETTER… not more efficient, not more innovative, not more competent, not more effective..
The only rational solution is to downsize/eliminate Nasa… and shift the US space program to private enterprise.. via direct funding or x-prizes.

History will not look on these people kindly and I would wager another board of inquiry.

Not much of a scientist then.

Oh well.

Always get the memes about it.. but never the catalog.

Slow day, eh?

“Those I heard build a house actually do build a house.”

You should get out more.

“Any reference as to Congress or the Administration “building” the country? because I never heard any such nonsense.”
