kind of silly these testing facilities are scattered around the country. Maybe #SpaceX can be the "all in one" testing facility?

Every congressional district gets a piece of the pie. That's partly why the space shuttle didn't do any one thing well except cost a lot of money.

It was actually very important to spread them out so as to make them virtually politically invulnerable. There is way less risk of funding getting cut when so many people have a dollar spent in their district.

Except that also means when you have a massive overpriced obsolete piece of kit like the SLS, killing it becomes almost impossible. It's a benefit when the ends are good and a serious issue when the end result is a less capable, more expensive vehicle.

This is largely true of government. This is one of the reasons why I don't understand some people aggressively pursue a larger government. It's a one way trip. The government is necessary in some things for a time, but you have to fight to cut it back later to kill a monster
