NASA Killed the BETTER Rocket — And We Got SLS Instead

Congress didn’t just end a program when it cancelled Constellation — it changed the entire trajectory of American crewed spaceflight. The decision was political, rushed, and deeply misunderstood… and it paved the way for the Space Launch System, a rocket that carries the weight of decisions made more than a decade ago. In this video, we break down why Constellation was cancelled, what we lost when the Ares I and Ares V programs were shut down, and how the Space Launch System became the complicated, expensive, and controversial replacement. SLS is often criticised for its cost, reusability problems, and political origins — but none of this happened in a vacuum. It happened because NASA was forced into a corner. This is the story of how one cancellation reshaped Artemis, reshaped NASA, and reshaped America’s return to the Moon. If you enjoy deep-dive documentaries about rockets, policy failures, and the engineering decisions behind modern spaceflight, this one is for you.
