Just did a quick linear regression line plot on the napkin, looks like the announced date and launch date line intersect somewhere around first half of 2022. I'll just go with April 2nd, 2022 then.

Did issues arise during modal testing?

If yes, I’d venture Q3 2022, at the earliest, to Q2 2023.

If not, whatever the program currently says, plus weather.

I'm going to guess that things will go unusually smoothly with a successful launch in the last days of the  February launch window.

Maybe change this to a poll of what month it will launch? Then put the day of the month in your response?

I'd be interested to see which month has the most responses...
If we don't continuously lower the cost to access space, how are we ever going to afford to expand humanity out into space?

Since I don't actually have a clue I decided to look up a list of national days.  While there are many intriguing possibilities I'm going to go with April 15th, National Take A Wild Guess Day.

I'm guessing my birthday (already picked by a prescient poster above), and I will announce when that is if I am right.  Chiefly, however, I am looking forward to the choices of those of us (and there were many) who used to insist that SLS would never get off the ground.

I wrote this in late August 2014:

Quote
The confidence level in the new November 2018 date for the first launch of SLS (EM-1) is only 70%. This means that the project has about a 1-in-3 chance of slipping to 2019 or later, assuming no issues not already worked into the estimate crop up.

The project was started in 2011, and the 2010 NASA Authorization Act required SLS to launch by 2016. It is now four years later, and the likely launch date for EM-1 has slipped to 2018 or later, a slip of two years in the first launch of SLS. That’s one year of schedule slippage for every two years that the project has existed. If the SLS schedule continues to slip at this rate over the next four years, the date of the first SLS launch will slip from 2018 to 2020. And then from 2018 to 2020, SLS will slip one more year or so before finally launching for the first time somewhere in the 2021-2022 timeframe.

Sometimes the simplest analysis is the most accurate.

2022, I think, given the situation.

It uses the 1 day of slip for every 2 days of work. Which for the current scheduled launch date 91 days away compounded gives a result of 181 days from today.

BTW May 13th is a Friday. Sounds appropriate.

What a coincidence, right? Friday the 13th? Let's just hope that Freddy Krueger won't be there to do anything bad, right? Ha ha!
