It isn’t an issue with any of the components needing SLS but that Orion needs SLS. I want to see more on the LOP-G. There isn’t too much out there on it.

What is encouraging is the lunar prospecting missions that NASA wants to do. The new NASA director said he wants to partner with companies desires, which is a refreshing breath of capitalism.

The Europa missions are covered by the increase and doesn’t affect other science spending. And the SLS thing is what it is. I’m afraid it will actually fly once or twice, and then carrying a probe to Europa would be a great show for it.
