Mods, I hope this is acceptable. I figured since we thoroughly thrashed Boeing's woes this might be worthy of discussion.

From my perspective it's simple: NASA is using off-the-shelf hardware to build the SLS, yet it's years behind schedule and billions over budget.

Why? Engines and boosters are flight proven. I know space ain't easy, but this rocket should've been easier than all new hardware.
