    The program has a “near zero” probability of meeting the existing launch readiness dates and would cost $8-9.6 billion

    That sounds laughingly cheap to me - that’s the price for the James Webb Space Telescope. It isn’t “cheap” compared to science budgets, but compared to the US’ society budget, it’s nothing.

    Also Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos could pay for about 40 of those missions, but instead they’re just sitting on and hoarding that money.

    Reminder that Elon Musk bought Twitter, just to ruin it, for the price of 4 of those Missions.
