The launch of NASA’s titanic SLS rocket slips toward summer 2022

From Art Technica:
"...In its update Wednesday, NASA said it will set a target launch date after a successful wet dress rehearsal. Theoretically, if all goes smoothly, SLS might make its launch window in April. However, more realistically, May probably offers the earliest launch opportunity. Given the potential for issues to arise during the wet dress rehearsal, especially with the interplay between so many large, complex systems, a summer 2022 launch date is also possible for the SLS rocket and NASA's uncrewed Artemis I mission around the Moon. ..."
