Major reversals:

  • $4.1 billion for SLS operations through Artemis 5 in 2029
  • $2.6 billion for Lunar Gateway
  • $1.25 billion for ISS operations through 2029

And some other things:

  • $1 billion for infrastructure at NASA facilities
  • $700 million for a "high-performance Mars communications orbiter" with highly specific language tailoring it to match the Rocket Lab MSR proposal
  • $325 million for the U.S. Deorbit Vehicle
  • $85 million to put a flown crewed spacecraft on display in Houston (the original language required this to be Shuttle Discovery, which isn't feasible for many reasons)

It seems hard to believe they could make such a mistake. But on the other hand a striking charge of negligence in regards to the COPV tanks was leveled by a SpaceX employee towards SpaceX engineering management:

SpaceX crane collapse in Texas being investigated by OSHA. (www.cnbc.com)

The crane collapse was captured in a livestream by Lab Padre on YouTube, a SpaceX-focused channel. Clips from Lab Padre were widely shared on social media, including on X, which is owned by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether any SpaceX workers were injured as a result of the incident. Musk and other company executives didn’t respond to a request for comment.

A heads up about how multi-billion dollar corporations operate. Whenever there is an accident where people were potentially injured, if there were no injuries the company quickly gets out there were no injuries. For instance like how SpaceX quickly got out there were no injuries during the static test explosion.

But if the company makes no comment on the accident, it’s a good chance there were injuries. And the longer the company says nothing about the accident the more likely it becomes there were serious injuries.
