Audit farce

Whilst contained harsh words for NASA, these seemed to be merely to justify the report's existence.

No request to seriously review the relevance of SLS in light of modern cheaper reusable commercial suppliers.

No questioning of why the current NASA Moon plans are overly complex and costly and yet do not meet the goal of actually going to the Moon in any meaningful way.

Though a lot of the blame is Congress members boon-dock requirements. Can't have affordable solutions as that means contractors in their own states might not get a juicy slice of the pie.

NASA and Congress should just kill off SLS and go for the obvious cheaper and quicker options.
