The Dumbest NASA Decision In Years? Why NASA is Being Forced To Ground Rover and Sent Ballast.

Announced on Wednesday is the cancellation of the VIPER mission to the moon, this is shocking because the Rover is finished construction and just needs a test session.
Moreover, NASA is contractually required to pay Astrobotic to fly a NASA payload to the moon, so they have to pay for this anyway.
Instead of a rover NASA will send ballast to the moon.

And the worst part is this is triggered by a cost increase to NASA due to the lander being delayed.
