Ended much worse earlier in the USSR, in 1960, when a certain ICBM test had to take place before a minor national holiday.

We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy.
Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead.
There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems.
We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes.
@nasa is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible.
America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again

Given how much of the US political system is taken up by boomers it's not surprising
Way too much leadpaint huffing and lead petrol fumes

12 years for a frustum, costing $500M, and just 2 years ago NASA rated the contract performance as "very good"...

Well, since the stages below and above the adapter changed quite a lot, it makes sense that constantly redesigning the adapter is also needed.... The contractor costs actually seem to be quite sane. I am sure, the big jumps in the costs come from major changes to the SLS configuration, while the smallest grade up is simple the costs for keeping the contractor team and manufacturing equipment available while the rocket as whole needs more time....
