It's so frustrating that the sky-crane isn't more affordable now that it's an established technology. I feel like many of NASA's problems would disappear if they could figure out how to Build Another One without insane cost overruns (see Perseverence being "another" Curiosity Rover).
The commercial route for MSR seems inevitable.
