When does rollback to the VAB look like? Will it happen before the end of this month or will it happen sometime in July?

No more WDR it seems - going for late August launchQuote from: FutureSpaceTourist on 06/23/2022 05:28 pmhttps://twitter.com/jimfree/status/1540023601503535105QuoteJoin us tomorrow, June 24 for an #Artemis I update.
