Maybe! NASA hopes to launch one before the end of August. It's 320 feet long, significantly more powerful than the Saturn V, and five years behind schedule.
Let's hope it doesn't experience a "catastrophic failure." Which is engineer speak for blowing up...and rockets on their maiden flights do have that habit.
The current launch window is on August 29, but of course weather, technical issues, range safety concerns, etc, could delay it.
But if all goes well you will be able to watch it live on NASA TV at 8:33am EST on August 29.
