Default There’s a new report on SLS rocket management, and it’s pretty brutal

"Boeing has been building the core stage of NASA's Space Launch System rocket
for the better part of this decade, and the process has not always gone
smoothly, with significant overruns and multiyear delays. A new report from
NASA's inspector general makes clear just how badly the development process has
gone, laying the blame mostly at the feet of Boeing.

"We found Boeing’s poor performance is the main reason for the significant cost
increases and schedule delays to developing the SLS core stage," the report,
signed by NASA Inspector General Paul Martin, states. "Specifically, the
project’s cost and schedule issues stem primarily from management, technical,
and infrastructure issues directly related to Boeing’s performance."

As of August 2018, the report says, NASA has spent a total of $11.9 billion on
the SLS. Even so, the rocket's critical core stage will be delivered more than
three years later than initially planned—at double the anticipated cost.
Overall, there are a number of top-line findings in this report, which cast a
mostly if not completely negative light on Boeing and, to a lesser extent, NASA
and its most expensive spaceflight project."
