SLS has always been the most industry desirable aerospace pork/waste project. The Exploration Upper Stage (the canceled one from this article) was just another example of that.

Other examples include:

• Restarting RS-25 rocket engine production (under the E variant) by Aerodyne
• BOLE to create new SRBs allowing Northrop to recovery its money invested in the failed OmegA rocket
• Building a second Mobile Launcher Platform from Bechtel for a rocket we've only launched once 4 years ago.

Before any of the above was done we had everything to launch 4 SLS rockets. If we only end up ever launching a total of 4 SLS rockets 100% of the above is complete waste which will serve zero purpose.

These are just the more recent pork examples in a long line stretching back to Orion, and Constellation development.

There's no linked article. Searching other sources doesn't show anything close to this recently from other news sources or even RT.

The closest I could find were statements made by Russia like this from 2 years ago when Russia was claiming the USA wanted to put nukes in Ukraine.

Is this a satire/misinformation Lemmy community?

But now we have our first newborn baby not even 4 months old and I worry about its health. We’re in the middle of flu season and her sister’s anti-vax family is driving over with 3 high school age kids.

Forget about flu. Do they have Whooping Cough and Measles vaccines? If not, I'd take the baby and get a hotel until they leave.
