Comment on NASA's SLS rocket's Mobile Launcher-2 increase from $383M to $2.7Bparent

Comments

SLS stands for Senate Launch System. It's a pork distribution program.

Major beneficiaries are the states of Florida, Mississippi, and Alabama (Huntsville) but there are beneficiaries all over the place. Classical DoD/NASA contractors know to locate facilities all over the country to maximize political capital via connection to local jobs in many jurisdictions.
