SLS launches likely delayed
Looks like NASA's first two launches of the SLS for their lunar tests
will be delayed by a year or more. That means SpaceX will almost certainly be there before them. -- "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 |

In article , says... Looks like NASA's first two launches of the SLS for their lunar tests will be delayed by a year or more. Why am I not surprised? And of course, the OIG says that the problem is "all of the programs supporting these first couple of flights are not being funded at recommended levels". On the one hand I can see why they're saying this. But on the other, with the kind of money we're throwing at SLS, you'd think that NASA would be getting "enough". That means SpaceX will almost certainly be there before them. Possibly, but SpaceX isn't immune from schedule slips. They have lost one Falcon 9 in flight and one during fueling for a hot fire test. Both of these incidents delayed the program quite significantly. True, but I think their current schedule has already taken the majority of its slips, unlike the NASA schedule. -- "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
