It is and it isn’t. If NASA sent up rockets like them, blew them up, and said “that’s what we wanted to happen!”, at the same tax dollar spent ratio, there would be congressional hearings and massive outrage.

When you build new things they necessarily blow up during the development process. NASA is hobbled by a flat budget so they can't afford to blow anything up. So they can't build anything new, which is why SLS is a bunch of old parts scrapped together.

True. But those old parts scrapped together is what makes SLS beautiful. :P
