First crew launch was supposed to be in 2016. Officials in 2012 estimated that the SLS rocket would cost $6 billion to develop, debut in 2017 and carry a $500 million per launch price tag. But the rocket is only just now debuting, having cost more than $20 billion to develop, and its per launch price tag has ballooned to $4.1 billion.
This is obscene. At some point there should probably be an oversight committee to get some answers on this. My guess is that it won’t happen because I’d bet money that politics, back room deals, and bullshite are the primary reason for most, if not all of this, so a lot of high profile players would get embarrassed.

Richard Shelby, a former Senator from Alabama, basically kept funding for SLS in place to protect jobs in Huntsville, even though the program makes no sense anymore.
