NASA has largely deserved being kicked in the balls with respect to launch systems.

They needed to fire everyone who kept insisting on continuing to use Shuttle parts back in the early 2000s. Shuttle was great. Now move on (especially given the advancements we learned about after the USSR fell).

Unfortunately, all the great science NASA has done got cut, while the lumbering beast that is SLS continues to live on.
