NASA's SLS rocket is $6 billion over budget and six years behind schedule
from NASA's Inspector General. Furthermore, the report foresees"additional cost and schedule increases" that could potentially jeopardize the entire Artemis mission if problems aren't handled.
NASA's spending on the Artemis Moon Program is expected to reach $93 billion by 2025, including $23.8 billion already spent on the SLS system through 2022. That sum represents"$6 billion in cost increases and over six years in schedule delays above NASA’s original projections," the report states. for the first time in November 2022, uses four RS-25 engines per launch, including 16 salvaged from retired Space Shuttles.
The older technology isn't helping with the budget as NASA expected, though."These increases are caused by interrelated issues such as assumptions that the use of heritage technologies from the Space Shuttle and Constellation Programs were expected to result in significant cost and schedule savings compared to developing new systems for the SLS," the audit states.
