If you had told anyone just two years ago that SLS would beat Starship, fly perfectly, and become the component of the Artemis program that contributed to delays the least, you’d have been laughed out of the room. And yet, here we are — of America’s two new and flown super-heavy launch vehicles, one has sent a deep-space crew-capable spacecraft to the Moon and back, while the other totaled its launchpad, struggled and failed the whole way up, and finally exploded not even a third of the way to space — nevermind orbit — carrying nothing more than the hopes and dreams of the Artemis generation.

It was such a Kerbal failure too, every KSP player knows that feeling when you're trying to wrestle the rocket to keep it on course and the damn thing just wants to flip out on you until it finally does. And it's all because you put the fins on the front instead of the back!
