Every single thing related to SLS is massively over budget and massively behind schedule. Utterly ridiculous. And in the meantime, we have completed lunar rovers unable to go to the moon because NASA cannot increase the budget for them. Great job. /s

So we could build two Burj Khalifas for the cost of one SLS launch tower. Seriously, though, these contractors are plundering the US Govt. Someone should go to jail for this.
> According to a new report from NASA’s inspector general, the estimated cost of the tower, which is a little bit taller than the length of a US football field with its end zones, is now $2.7 billion. Such a cost is nearly twice the funding it took to build the largest structure in the world, the Burj Khalifa, which is seven times taller.

This is what happens when people spend other people’s money.

Costs don’t count for government programs since they’re all paid for with fReE mOneY!
