If the Artemis Program is the path that Americans will take to return to the moon, Mobile Launch Tower and SLS will be like their legs to walk on that path. Because of their importance, the price to pay is extremely high.
Recently, they revealed the new insane budget for Mobile Launch Tower and the SLS project in 2024. Although that budget is extremely large, the agency still said that the current amount is not enough to maintain their project and requires more funding.
This raised a lot of skepticism. Many people feel there is an unclear with those costs and think that funds are being used ineffectively while projects are continuously delayed.
NASA and its projects are showing inferiority compared to other organizations, typically SpaceX, the private aerospace company owned by billionaire Elon Musk.
That’s a humiliation!
Let’s find out in today’s episode of Alpha Tech.

Spacex just needs to launch to the moon then throw a welcome NASA to the moon party at the SpaceX Bar and Grill lunar location

SPACE-X - The best thing that ever happened in the technical age.

My thoughts on NASA is they don’t hire the best engineers, they’re concerned to hire people who check all the boxes. That’s why the accomplishments are little to none.

[rogeremberson]

NASA has had an obscene amount of US taxpayers money to build a phenomenally expensive single use booster, that costs $4billion to launch, and a mobile launch tower costing over $23billion, that can't take heat of launch, and it's many years late as well.
Meanwhile, a relatively new kid on the block is launching reusable first stage boosters on a regular basis, almost to the point that it's boring.
Also, when the new kid irons out the wrinkles regarding StarShip and SuperBooster, SLS will be toast. Not even going to talk about Blue Origin, they're dead in the water.
There is no leader in NASA, just bean counters, saying let's rip off the taxpayers for as much money as we can for something that wont work.
The new kid was saying when the first test flights failed, why did that fail?, lets fix it.
He's an engineer, and he has a team of engineers around him, not bean counters. And it's paid off for him.

Imagine if they had given all this money to space X instead...

[jimwilliams]

A big part of NASA's problems is congress with so many different states with hands out for the money to design and develop projects. SpaceX largely develops projects in one location like Boca Chica, Texas. In NASA's design and development process often one hand doesn't know what the other is doing until there's a cost overrun, and too many hands demanding a piece of the money pie!

The difference between Federally run and commercially run is that commercially run must operate to show a profit. This illustrates how inefficient anything the Feds do is.

When some of NASA's budget is siphoned of into other dark areas its a wonder anything is built that can get to space.

Please do a video on why a space suit takes NASA more than a billion to design and make.

[jackbelk]

Open budgets are a license to steal and those licenses are given as political favors.

Give credit to the USAF which retired the B-36 when they recognized that the future of aircraft was the jet engine.

In stark contrast, when NASA saw the future of rocketry was cheap quickly reusable rockets, they continued on with very expensive one-time-use rockets.

The only way to improve any government agency is to eliminate current management and replace them. Zero tolerance for incompetency, wastefulness, etc

[billhart]

Unsubbed. Tired of the juvenile "shocked, humiliated" taglines. I wish SpaceX well.

[SteveGrin]

Bechtel's been playing the extras game for a very long time. They low balled everything that wasn't explicit and are over charging for every little change.

[madman]

Private space is the only way forward government needs to get the hell out of the way

[TheOlvan]

I've lost all faith in NASA. The US needs to have SpaceX do everything. At least then, we might actually get to the moon, Mars and beyond.

[KenFisher]

The military manufacturing contractors are just as bad.

[MichaelCater]

Bechtel is known to be a money hungry company. They have a contract locally with Hanford, WA and Pacific Northwest National Labratory - and are known to be over budget and deadline as a modus operandi.

[Quamish]

Even though Artemis is wasteful. I think NASA works on other supporting technology that is necessary for the Moon and Mars missions. That said they should get their act together as Spacex is shining a light on the subject. Way to to Spacex team!

[Transformyourmind]

NASA should fund Space X instead of colluding with fat, wasteful legacy contractors. Competition is key here. The United States has wasted enough time filling the pockets of the unaccountable legacy contractors spreading wasteful spending all over the country to make politicians look good. We need to move quickly as China is close behind. Low cost, sustainable access to space is a National security issue.
