Idk maybe developing and building 8-meter wide, carbon composite, human rated, deployable structures is gonna be a little expensive especially over a decade and a bit
Before @NASAAdmin killed the Exploration Upper Stage, the space agency was on track to pay HALF A BILLION dollars for development of a simple stage adaptor between the upper stage and Orion.

@Arkshol93 Yeah that’s the expensive part, it shouldn’t, but SLS got planned out over the course of 2 decades because of flat NASA budgeting
@Arkshol93 Like, we shouldn’t have even ever had ICPS. It’s the *interim* stage for a reason, EUS was too expensive year-to-year to develop concurrently with SLS. But you pay now or pay more later…
Breakups are hard 💔
Unless it’s stuff breaking up in Earth’s atmosphere. Then it’s just cool! A @Space_Station astronaut captured an object breaking up in the atmosphere on April 27. It could have been part of a rocket, satellite, other human-made space debris, or a meteor.
SpaceX is preparing to launch its first Starfall reentry capsule as a technology demonstration. Liftoff of the Falcon 9 rocket from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled for 6:53 a.m. EDT (1053 UTC).
