Significant delays would be really, really bad for SLS. They already extended the lifetime for the SRBs...
- panick21_ 4y agoWho remember when we were talking about what will launch first, SLS or Falcon Heavy. Good times. I remember being called a idiot SpaceX fanboy that understands nothing about engineering when I said Falcon Heavy would launch first. And by somebody who worked at NASA as far as I can tell. Unless there is a longer delay with upper stage refuel, they likely make it first.

"We don't have a commercially available heavy lift vehicle. Falcon 9 Heavy may someday come about. It's on the drawing board right now. SLS is real. Falcon Heavy launched four years after he said that. SLS still hasn't.
