They did because NASA has been underfunded for decades
Imagine if they didn't have to play political games and spend $5 billion (20% of their budget) on SLS+Orion. That's TEN Discovery Class missions per year.
I think NASA should focus on scientific research and exploration, then buy commercial when it makes sense. Rockets are "solved" and they don't need their own. Space suits... they really should have finished xEMU.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
