First SLS launch now expected in late 2021
From SpaceNews.com:
"WASHINGTON — NASA now expects the first launch of the Space Launch System to take place in late 2021, with the coronavirus pandemic at least partially contributing to the latest delays.
Speaking at a May 14 meeting of the NASA Advisory Council’s Human Exploration and Operations Committee, Tom Whitmeyer, NASA assistant deputy associate administrator, said the agency would announce as soon as next week that the launch readiness date for the Artemis 1 mission has slipped to late 2021."

Oh, yeah, the pandemic excuse finally comes out. That's why it's being delayed. Sure.
