    I think the SLS should be renamed the SLAB - the Space Launch Aborting
    Booster.

    And so far, all of the problems are because they can't even fuel up
    the thing efficaciously. I hope they've used up all their screwups by
    the time they get around to actually lighting the candle.

    It also appears that the ghost of Richard Feynman and Challenger has
    came back - better late than never - to haunt them. And if the SLS
    fails to sucessfully launch that might be a career ending blow to many
    in NASA's management team.

    I was thinking of a vertical slab. If there is no such thing, there
    should be.

    They have been pushing back the launch since 2016. If that trend
    continues Elon's colony will be established and be waiting to wave as
    the SLS makes its flyby.
