NASA Launched 2nd SLS after Years DELAY, OVERRUN Costs BUT SpaceX Starship Better…
This is a disaster!
SLS’s most important part, the core stage serving Nasa’s Artemis 2, finally manages to crawl out of the cave after years of dormancy and milking tons of tax dollars dry.
Although it is Boeing’s pride, for hard-working taxpayers like us, a big question arises:
Will the SLS rocket of both Nasa and contractor Boeing get stuck in space on its upcoming mission like its Boeing Starliner sibling?
Should we cancel it?
Find out everything in today’s episode of Techmap.

We are just more than one year away from Nasa’s Artemis 2 mission, the first crew mission to travel beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972. As a mission of the Nasa-led Artemis program, Artemis 2 will use the second launch of the Space Launch System and include the first crewed mission of the Orion spacecraft. The mission is scheduled for no earlier than September 2025 with four astronauts performing a flyby of the Moon and returning to Earth.
After many years of delay and burning a lot of money, on July 16, 55 years to the day of Nasa’s Apollo 11 launch to the moon, SLS’s core stage was rolled out of its manufacturing facility, the space agency’s Michoud Assembly Facility, in New Orleans. This is where all major structures for every SLS core stage are fully manufactured.

The 65-meter booster, with its four RS 25 engines, was escorted a mile down the roadway to be loaded onto Nasa’s Pegasus barge for shipping to the Kennedy Space Center, in Florida, ahead of the second mission of the Artemis program. After arrival at Nasa Kennedy, the stage will undergo additional outfitting inside the Vehicle Assembly Building. Engineers then will join it with the segments that form the rocket’s twin solid rocket boosters. Adapters for the Moon rocket that connect it to the Orion spacecraft will be shipped to Nasa Kennedy this fall, while the interim cryogenic propulsion stage is already in Florida. Engineers continue to prepare Orion, already at Kennedy, and exploration ground systems for launch and flight.
Currently, core stages and future exploration upper stages for the next evolution of SLS, called the Block 1B configuration, are in various phases of production for Artemis 3, 4, and 5.
