cool story bro.

believe what you want. WE WERE NEVER, EVER GOING TO JUMP FROM SATURN 5 TO FALCON 9.

whatever fanfic you're living aside, change comes over time, in increments, and requires the technology to support it.

and nasa had to sell it that way BECAUSE OF CONGRESS YOU DOLT. Congress is the reason it was divvied up from here to alabammy. do you think NASA thought it was optimal?

jfc were you dropped on your head?

part of running a national agency is politics, and sourcing shit from various states is the best way to guarantee your program doesn't get cancelled when inflation spikes or some other short term disaster crops up.

you act like nasa drove those things, when it's literally politics.

meanwhile you want to leave our entire launch footprint in ketamine boy's control?
