Yeah for as much bad rap as SLS gets, it had an actual spectacular maiden flight which is pretty rare for rockets.

Me too. I know there is a lot of "Boeing bad" in all of Reddit, but it would have been very beneficial to have them actually be a solid competitor to SpaceX which currently holds a near monopoly in space. Having a competitor in this case is a good thing because it would force both companies to be on their toes and find new ways to incentivize.
