I think you meant to use “forced” instead of “planned”
I guess that’s one way to look at the bright side.
I would rather the cuts never took place to begin with.
Ah, a Muskovite stan.

SLS isn’t a rocket, it’s a way to funnel taxpayer money to politically connected aerospace companies. It should have been killed years ago. Same for MSR, and the space station in Lunar Orbit.
SpaceX has built a better rocket, for a fraction of the cost that actually flies more than once every three years and costs $4,000,000,000 a launch.
It’s embarrassing and heartbreaking that the science and sacrifice of those that came before was all for nought.
