- itishappy 2y agoAm I crazy or is the SLS system is actually the most timely component? Edit: Yeah, I'm crazy. SLS might be ready now, but it was delayed about 6 years. Starship and Orion both have a bit to catch up.
- kristianp 2y agoNo SLS II isn't ready now. Its launching mid next year, but there are concerns about Orion's heat shield. Also, II isn't planned to land on the moon. And it may be delayed further.
