  1. and for political reasons they all are kept, groundlock till SLS is fired first.
    2019–2020–2021–2022 may, june, Septembre….2023–2024

    This SLS will keep the America away from MARS.

    ehhhhh wasn’t it Werner von Braun who requested his rockets into space, which was blocked and forbidden every time as politically-spoken no German was allowed to do so.

    They would have had their German-engineered ‘weg’ iso russian Sputnik

    • There is a grain of truth in what you say but (I dare to say) it is not enough to significantly change opinions.

    • Utter nonsense. Way back in 1955 von Braun showed on a “Disney “Tomorrowland ” TV episode exactly how a huge multistage rocket would be slowly transported from an enormous staging building to a launch tower using a slow-moving vehicle with tank-like treads and from there be sent into space and on to the Moon.

      It was a black-and-white automation. I watched that program spellbound as a fifth-grader.

      JFK’s goal of putting a man on the moon “by the end of this decade” happened after his 1963 death, of course, but von Braun played a crucial role, particularly regarding development of the Saturn V rocket, all the way to the successful 1969 launch.

      But yes, his Nazi past was known. Tom Lehrer , a very clever piano-playing satirist and Harvard instructor, mocked him in one of his ditties, claiming von Braun was indifferent to the suffering his Nazi V-2 rockets caused:

      “Once ze rahkets are up, I don’t care where zay come down
      That’s not my depahtment,”, said Wernher von Braun.

    • I know, right? What has this “SpaceX” ever accomplished? Leave space to the experts. NASA’s never had any rockets or space vehicles blow up.

      • What has spacex acomplished? OmG? Re-usable rockets and is making starlink financially possible for one. Also, restocking the space station and taking our astronauts seats back from Russia. After NASA shut down the shuttle program we had to rely on Russian Rockets to get to the space station. Now we can do that from home and ssve 85 million a man.

    • Part of the show. They would repair the launch pad, put another slightly modified rocket there and try again in a few weeks until they get it. A RUD does not endanger the program, which is funded by the company’s revenue.

      While SLS would be in existential risk, delayed for years by blaming committees and internal reviews and probably still fail if anything like that happens.
