SLS is getting a lot of negative publicity now. Hopefully this will (eventually) lead to the program's shutdown if SLS keeps having troubles.

Cost, time, danger, discomfort.

I've flown dozens of times and still hate doing it. If man was made to fly God would have given us wings.
Someone's gotta bring body positivity to space.

You know Youtubers like Scott Manley or Dr. Becky would probably jump at the chance if they are looking for creative types

Shatner went up on Blue Origin's rocket. Those don't go to orbit, dufus.

Just to expand a bit more, there are more interested and interesting people to bring to space. Aside from actual scientists who would benefit from it, I'd rather bring some OnlyFans hoes up to the ISS for some filmed conjugal visits with the residents there with proceeds going to NASAs budget. For me it's just a bunch of time and discomfort to experience 0g for a bit and look out the window at our great planet. Not for me, boys, give that seat to a better ass.

Just tuned in to the live view, and the first panel I see is "Today's launch has been scrubbed".

How did we spend so much money on this hobgoblin of ancient parts from a bygone era? Shits gonna blow up on takeoff. I’ll be in Florida in a few weeks, hopefully I can watch it explode live.
