New SLS Launch Dates, Rollout, Repairs, & More

It seems like it’s been quite a while since we heard about the Space Launch System and the first launch apart of Artemis 1. The rocket has been busy in the last few months between multiple rollouts, repairs, launch attempts, and more. Thankfully, after the most recent rollback to the VAB, it looks like NASA has set specific dates for the next launch attempt.

Just two days ago, NASA announced that the agency is targeting November 14th for the next Artemis I lunch attempt. This includes a few backups on some of the days soon after to try and give proper room for error. In addition, since being rolled into the VAB on September 28th, NASA has been working to both repair and service general equipment, systems, and the rocket itself.

All of which moving toward the goal of finally launching this rocket to mark the first step in returning humans to the Moon. While there have been a lot of delays in the last few months alone, NASA wants to ensure this launch goes perfectly. Here I will go more in-depth into the upcoming launch dates, what the rocket has been up to, possible future delays, and more.

Must be tough replicating something that was done many times 50 odd years ago...you know, with all the advances in materials, technology and such.

2nd observation. I'll give you and all other providers two new puffs of cold air if you permanently retire the 70's vintage launch video.

Back in the 60s they use to go to the moon every month they played golf had moon buggies 60 years later nothing but it delays after delays they had way better technology back then.

I'll wager a cool puff of air that this booster will wind up in the scrap yard. Way WAY to many issues, however, every manned space launch system the U.S. has every built had teething problems. The current circumstances and issues seem to be far more in numbers and of course expenses.
