To be clear, I hope they have a good launch, whenever they manage to slap some more pipe tape on the thing and fix their leaks.
But with the cost overruns, an estimated price tag of $4 BILLION per launch, zero reusability, and the likelihood that SpaceX's Starship will beat it to the moon AND return and land to be used again, for a lot less money... Yeah, it's a boondoggle.
The way we built rockets for Apollo worked back then, but not now.
