When your highest priority is astronaut safety, ...


You don't use solid rockets.


... SLS (so far) has been 100% successful.


It's easy to be 'safe' when you've never launched.


Ground crew? Well maybe that's not NASA's highest
priority. But so far, so good.


So NASA could just burn the money in the name of safety. :-)
