This is bordering on tragic. What can be done about this?!

https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2018/05/schedule-first-sls-core-stage-sliding/ - By Philip SlossWish we had some good news, but schedule issues mean SLS maiden launch (EM-1) is at least two years away and confidence levels for June 2020 holding is now less than 50 percent.
When I click on "EM-1 INTEGRATED MISSION MILESTONE SUMMARY" in this article,it does not expand.I don't know if the original image was too low a resolution or if something is missing from theincorporation of the image. If its easy to fix, that would be appreciated or supplying the URL for a readable versionof the image would be appreciated [in which case adding that URL to the article might be a good idea].

Interesting article. We all knew 2020 was the new date, but mid-2020 and may slip further isn't great. Still, Falcon Heavy slipped a few years and no one said a word.
At this rate; Vulcan-Centaur V will be flying before the SLS. If I were NASA, I'd be discretely talking to ULA about moving Orion over to that as a Hail Mary pass...

I was viewing it on a 24" workstation with Firefox under Linux.I also tried it on a 26" screen on a system running windows 10 using a similar version of Firefox.Results are the same - the image in the article does not expand when I click on it.

But, to get back to SLS: first launch was mandated, by law, to be no later than December 2016. With the recent sliding of the CS schedule there is a very real chance that the new NET launch date for EM-1 will be in December 2020. That is four years behind schedule.

Still, Falcon Heavy slipped a few years and no one said a word.FH was five years late and lotsa people here repeatedly asked the question when FH would finally launch.But, to get back to SLS: first launch was mandated, by law, to be no later than December 2016. With the recent sliding of the CS schedule there is a very real chance that the new NET launch date for EM-1 will be in December 2020. That is four years behind schedule. Which is real bad for a government program gobbling up over a billion dollars PER YEAR. For comparison: FH was done on a mere $500 million IN TOTAL.
