Trump may cancel NASA's powerful SLS Moon rocket

There have been rumors that NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, a key part of the Artemis program to return humans to the Moon, could be canceled under the Trump administration. This speculation aligns with the idea of reducing NASA's budget and outsourcing more work to private companies. However, canceling the SLS would raise questions about finding a replacement rocket and potentially disrupt the Artemis schedule. While Elon Musk's SpaceX and its Starship vehicle have been suggested as an alternative, there are challenges to overcome, including Starship's developmental phase and the need for modifications to launch procedures. The complex and ambitious nature of the Artemis program necessitates careful consideration and justification of any significant changes.
