And the IG reporting today how the cost overruns are healthy: NASA inspector general says SLS moon rocket costs continue to climb – Spaceflight Now
I didn't see anything in the article to indicate the IG thought the cost overruns were healthy. I didn't see the article taking a position on the costs one way or the other - reading between the lines, I took the quote in the article to indicate the IG wasn't thrilled at the rate of overspending.
Ignoring the interpretation, the article has a lot of info on the SLS costs. I think once I get into billions, I get sort of numb - SLS is up into the 20's of billions by the time they launch (1st or 2nd time); that's crazy. Especially if SpaceX gets to the moon with more mass, without government help (to speak of), before the US can swing it. Talk about a bad look.
