Additional SLS Launch Delay
The first SLS/Orion launch, EM-1, has been delayed until 2018 due to
late delivery of the ESA-produced Service Module for Orion. Now it looks like the SLS rocket itself will be the source of an even bigger launch delay. A welding problem with the new, high-tech welding process used for the SLS core stage apparently has a problem that will delay launch of the vehicle until at least 2019, if not into 2020. -- "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." --George Bernard Shaw |
