SLS was bogged down for years waiting for congressional approval that was repeatedly blocked or maliciously modified last minute by congressional and senate republicans, a form of efficiency knee-capping that the agency never faced in the Apollo or Space Shuttle days.

You can complain about that, but it's not a factor that's going away any time soon. It's built into how NASA works and our system of government.
