Launch window opens at 1417 EDT with weather at the normal Florida summer which means a 60% chance of launch conditions. NASA is opening its full launch feed at 1245 EDT.

The Artemis rocket uses four recycled Space Shuttle main engines.
Unlike the Space Shuttle, the Artemis booster throws away the engines into the ocean after launch.
How many used Space Shuttle main engines do we have in stockpile? I’m thinking maybe enough for three more Artemis launches?

Found it....
A report from NASA’s Office of Inspector General released in November 2021 outlines just how much development costs increased for SLS between its first iteration and now, and revealed how expensive each SLS launch will be. According to the report (opens in new tab), NASA will end up spending a total of $93 billion on the Artemis program between 2012 and 2025, and each SLS/Orion launch will have a price tag of about $4.1 billion.

"There's no guarantee that we're going to get off on Saturday, but we're gonna try," Artemis mission manager Mike Sarafin said during a news conference this evening (Sept. 1). ( https://www.space.com/artemis-1-moon-mission-go-launch-september-3 )
I think I'd have worded that a bit differently...

Musk wanted to do this with manned capsules too but NASA made him do it the old fashioned way with parachute and splashdown/recovery at sea.

Hope it works. Not surprised if it doesn’t.

And yet we’re told that 50 years ago we landed AND TOOK OFF FROM THE MOON (WITHOUT A SUPERSTRUCTURE HOLDING THE ROCKET STEADY) AND DID IT WITH COMPUTERS THAT COLLECTIVELY HAD LESS POWER THAN ONE OF TODAY’S IPHONES.
