On the news last nite they said parts were no longer available. I hope it isnt scrapped but is sent to a museum somewhere


Well it's probably time. The countdown clock didn't have enough digits for counting down from the potential decades between manned SLS missions.

Besides we don't have countdown clocks for commercial airline, train or bus departures. Looking forward to the day when the same can be said for space travel.
