    Like all ambitious space missions in history, it will be delayed, delayed, and delayed again. Sadly that’s how it has always been.

    Unless I’m grossly mistaken, Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo were pretty much on schedule. I don’t know about Skylab, if we consider it separate from Apollo. I think things started to become less tight with STS (Shuttle).

      You could be right. I have not been alive that long and I must admit I’m not super educated on the exact timelines of many older programs. But in my lifetime, all the exciting programs have been delayed by a lot.

      I guess I confidently spouted some incorrect information if you were right.
