NASA's new rocket has been in development for over a decade, arguably it's a soft continuation from the Constellation program using the 5 segment boosters and Orion capsule that began development in 2005. It's been a slow, expensive ride with the contractors milking their cost plus contracts for their one benefit.

But now, it's on the pad, closed out and ready to launch as early as Monday morning on a trip around the moon that will test the rocket during launch and the spacecraft in space for 6 weeks before returning to earth with a make or break test of the heat shield and other recovery systems.
