SLS is finally getting cancelled, probably

[Legend]

Boeing told employees that it will probably be cancelled.

Internally it's just a debate of what to do with the corpse. Incinerate it, or use the finished parts for Artemis 2 and 3. I think I lean towards the former. If this was the 70s again I'd be dreaming of getting a skylab type use out of it but financially it just doesn't make sense. It'd probably be cheaper to do an expendable starship launch than to launch a free sls.

Kind of wild that this happened, but multiple people have told me Boeing took the step of meeting with employees about SLS layoffs without informing NASA.https://t.co/jqmRbMVlOK
