This is a link post NASA's Second Hot Fire Test for the Artemis Moon Rocket
Engineers will power up all the core stage systems, load more than 700,000 gallons of supercold propellant into the tanks, and fire the rocket’s four RS-25 engines at the same time to simulate the stage’s operation during the launch of our first Artemis mission to the Moon.

This is a normal post Do we really think they’ve sorted all the software bugs in a single month?
Given it’s Boeing in charge of integration and the mess they made of Starliner I have my doubts.

Reckon they’ll make three minutes.

This is a normal post At least once.
Potentially no more than that, according to some. I think 3 SLS launches is probably the least the US government could get away with without getting sued.

I like SLS. It's Space Shuttle without all the space shuttle crap getting in the way.
