Adjusted for inflation, the cost of one launch of the #SaturnV in the 📆 1960s was around $1.5 billion 💰, which is a far cry from the $4 billion 💰💰💰💰 required for just one #SLS launch https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/32011-nasas-powerful-and-contraversial-sls-rocket-ready-to-launch

#EverydayAstronaut 📆 July 14, 2022 #Musk’s primary goal is for the cost-per-tonne of thrust of #Raptor to be under $1,000 — this means Raptor needs to be ~$250,000 💵 to produce https://everydayastronaut.com/spacex-raptor-engine-comparison
📆 November 6, 2022 #SpaceX ships #Starship’s 200th 📊 upgraded Raptor engine. SpaceX was also able to boost Raptor 2’s thrust by 25% 📈 https://www.teslarati.com/spacex-starship-200th-upgraded-raptor-engine
📆 May 1, 2020 #NASA will pay $146 million 💰💰💰💰💰 for each #SLS rocket engine. The #rocket needs four engines, and it is #expendable https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/05/nasa-will-pay-a-staggering-146-million-for-each-sls-rocket-engine

Introducing the #SenateLaunchSystem
"the system allowed the #aerospace #industry -- who was getting billions of dollars 💰 to build [the #SLS] -- to tell Congress they could do it by that time," #Garver said, explaining that the industry knew it'd be paid the same amount 💰 every year, #regardless of delays. "There was a #reverse incentive."
#NASA Inspector General Paul Martin : "We saw that the cost-plus contracts that NASA had been using to develop that combined #SLS and #Orion system work to the contractors' rather than NASA's #advantage." https://www.cnet.com/science/space/billions-behind-a-lunar-dream-why-nasas-artemis-i-moon-rocket-may-prove-unsustainable

#Shelby was a frequent #critic of commercial space in general and #SpaceX specifically. He did not believe private companies—especially those that did not do much business in #Alabama 💰 —should receive government funding.
He also held the line in 📆 2019 when #NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine suggested that due to #delays with the rocket's development, it might be better to launch the #Orion spacecraft on SpaceX's #FalconHeavy #rocket 🚀 https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/01/so-long-richard-shelby-and-thanks-for-all-the-pork🐖 pork barrel : local projects that are given a lot of #government #money in order to win #votes https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/definition/english/pork-barrel
