Bold prediction: This will be the only SLS launch. It will never fly people.

If SpaceX is able to get Yusaku Maezawa and his crew of social media influencers around the moon before the end of the decade that might just happen. This does assume that NASA has received delivery of Lunar Starship which is still a big if in my mind.

As if astronauts on the Moon have any real value but propaganda (social media influencing nowadays).

We can hope. They should repurpose them as exhibits in public space centers, right alongside the space shuttles and some of the unflown rocket hardware like the actual Saturn V they have at Kennedy.

I'd rather see a successful SLS launch than waiting another decade...
