[Berger] It's far from settled but...it seems at least 50-50 that NASA's Space Launch System rocket will be canceled. Not Block 1B. Not Block 2. All of it. (self.spaceflight)

We shouldn't overreact, as Berger points out none of the relevant appointments have been made. It's still a stunning report with huge implications. Here's the full quote:

To be clear we are *far* from anything being settled, but based on what I'm hearing it seems at least 50-50 that NASA's Space Launch System rocket will be canceled. Not Block 1B. Not Block 2. All of it. There are other ways to get Orion to the Moon.

Wow!! I think most of us assumed cancellation was politically impossible, so it's going to be very interesting to watch the fallout of this report. What will be the battlelines in Congress?
