@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Those may be the primary reasons, I honestly don't know, but even assuming that is true it doesn't excuse journalists for not asking the tough questions.

@PoLaRobs@fediscience.org For journalists, the replacement of Shuttle with Ares/Constellation/SLS/Artemis has always been so obviously pork that it was not worth asking. But they are quick to point out the costs of the project to nowehere because their spin is to show NASA can't do anything anymore. Ability to launch Artemis II was a HUGE step for NASA to disprove that narrative. SpaceX has yet to reach orbit with its monster, and nowhere near able to land on moon as promised as part of contract with NASA.
