      Plus, I can think of at least three other places more deserving than Michoud of being called “America’s Rocket Factory.”

        But they are the ones building “America’s Rocket”, the SLS, which has costed each America household $187.30 to date. (Dividing its $23 billion cost to date by the 122.8 million households in the United States). $187.30 will buy a lot of things for the average American household that are far more useful than America’s Rocket, the Socialist Launch System. And just think of how many fish and wildlife the acid exhaust from those SRBs will kill off on each flight.
