    Wow, what a pathetic ending to America’s space ambitions to have its 20+ year struggle to return to the moon quashed at the same time it has to decommission its major space station without a clear replacement. If SLS is canceled, then the Lunar Gateway program is even more pointless than it was before.

      At least the R&D that’s gone into Gateway will be useful for future space stations. Gateway’s only real problem is its purpose and location. The technology is genuinely innovative.
