npub1urf9cuvaeyxpyez4844ldl7aqfxygz8j8kvzyv0l0j47zuvhhlkqqyhseg (npub1urf…hseg) npub1nu968lpe4mqdkjzurvz00e70yfdyqypay2q2xrr2ae9h4eljxcjqykl6r5 (npub1nu9…l6r5) SLS took a decade to build, using bits recycled from the Space Shuttle! Same RS-25 engines, SRBs based on the Shuttle SRBs (with an extra segment, IIRC), tankage similarly descended from the Shuttle ET (with modifications to allow for the engines to be located under the tank rather than offset to one side). The Orion capsule and SM were new, but they'd already been flight-tested (sub-orbital). To that extent, SLS-1 was a sure bet.
