This is why he was never going to be the one to lead us to Mars. His soul is too polluted with petty earther bullshit

We’ve got launch windows for short duration missions (26-28 days) from right now until the 26th. The 27th and 28th are long duration missions (38-42 days). The 29th is a no-go, and then it’s more long duration windows every day until October 4th. After that the stars are out of alignment until Oct. 17th when we’re back to a string of short mission windows.

There’s also recycling time issues to consider, since NASA can’t turn SLS on a dime the way SpaceX can with Falcon 9 or move it back and forth like Superheavy. That’s going to be the biggest factor besides the weather and I can’t seem to find where those limitations were posted. A scrub on the 27th would mean a delay of an undefined number of days, but I don't think it'd be long enough to prevent an attempt on the 2nd.
