the lack of integration testing and known faults in the Artemis 1 Orion make it almost a certainty imo that either SLS or Orion fails spectacularly in some way

>Wont the SLS launch soon?
Yes, provided it doesn't get delayed again.
>I heard that the current plan is late 2021
November 2021. Again, if it doesn't get delayed again.
>That’s not too far behind schedule
It is three years behind (five if you count Constellation). That is heavily delayed considering that most of the major components have already been made, and the new components are relatively much simpler and definitely don't require nearly a decade of development. Adding on top of that, former NASA administrator Charles Bolden is on record stating that SLS has been ready for it's final test run since 2014, and now it has been sitting on that test stand for nearly a year with no progress.

Give them time. It's alot to process.

There should be a version of The Pentagon Wars, but with SLS instead of the Bradley.

Because it used Shuttle parts. Any program that uses Shuttle parts has to deal with the shitty Shuttle management and oversight.
