I have a problem with NASA not having its own launch system. Especially when the supposed replacements haven’t exactly demonstrated their viability or cheaper-than-SLS-ness yet. SLS has actually flown. Killing the Shuttle without a viable replacement left us reliant on the Russians to get to space. Killing SLS at the proposed time leaves us at the mercy of the promises of an asshat who has been promising FSD for over a decade.
That aside I also don’t have a problem with a tiny fraction of my tax dollars funding STEM careers.
