Roundup of #wenhop for #HLV rockets


1/ Here's my roundup of #wenhop for #HLV rockets
  • Ariane 6 “sometime in 2023”
  • New Glenn ““The runway is closing on 2022,” Jones said, but its premature to announce it. “It will not be at the end of this year.”
  • SLS “could launch as early as August 29th”
  • Starship “A *successful* orbital flight is probably between 1 and 12 months from now”
  • Vulcan “Slipping into 2023”
