>If you don't like it why don't you make your own rocket

People criticizing the SLS aren't usually contending that they themselves could do better, but that someone else could - typically SpaceX, though I personally also like making comparisons to the Saturn V.

People criticizing the SLS program are usually pointing out the corruption/pork barreling, rather than anything technical about the rocket itself. Though of course, these two criticisms aren't mutually exclusive.

>Armchair astronauts

This should be armchair engineer or at least armchair rocket scientist, no?

Astronauts ride rockets. They don't build them.
