Former NASA boss Charles Bolden looks into his crystal ball
From Politico.com:
" ‘SLS will go away’: Boeing’s Space Launch System rocket could face trouble though, regardless of who is in office in 2021, he predicts. “SLS will go away. It could go away during a Biden administration or a next Trump administration … because at some point commercial entities are going to catch up,” he said. “They are really going to build a heavy lift launch vehicle sort of like SLS that they will be able to fly for a much cheaper price than NASA can do SLS. That’s just the way it works.” "
