The entire NASA budget is like 5% of the US military budget. Unaffordable my ass.

Just because you CAN do something, doesn't always mean you should. It's unaffordable because it's not reusable, and we need to stop making these types of rockets now we have a leg up on more sustainable/reusable and affordable solutions.
Yeah we should just shut down SLS so all the money will ... wait what will they do with the money again?
