Default SLS still creeping along

Swing arm tests completed. That's about the extent of progress lately.

Here's a pic of the SLS in the VAB. It's one of the better pics that lends to its size. It has some nice detail of the external plumbing and tunnel.
Image is big so click on the link.

That is an impressive shot.

And while this whole SLS thing has sucked up way more dollars than it should have and has dragged on too long, I am one that DOES hope that it succeeds, however many time(s) it actually flies. It would be an even worse shame for it to never get off the ground or fail when it does fly.

It’s a huge vehicle and should be quite a sight to see it go. I’ll be cheering it on every second, when it does finally launch. I mean, it IS a rocket after all!

It will fly, at least once. Maybe twice.

By the time it finally happens, SLS may very well be utterly and totally irrelevant and pointless, but it will fly.
