For the rocket, everything's mostly done and it's down to final assembly (i.e. joining engines to the core stage, shipping everything to Florida). There should be a mostly complete rocket in Florida early 2023.
Many of the bottlenecks have been related to Artemis 1 so now that that's flying, things can start moving forward. The Mobile Launcher will need a few upgrades to support crew and those will now begin, and then they need to get the Artemis 1 Orion back to pull some avionics for use in the Artemis 2 capsule. If we get Orion back safe in December I'd feel good about a late 2024 launch.
