Sounds like weather might cause a delay til Saturday but will probably know within next 5 min.

Scrubbed.

RNajarian 05-27-2020 12:18 PM
You gotta admit, the video from the inside of the spacecraft is impressive.

GH85Carrera 05-27-2020 12:18 PM
Scrubbed for today. :(

Baz 05-27-2020 12:18 PM
Scrubbed at T minus 16m, 54s.......

Next attempt will be on Saturday.

The announcers were total BS. Buncha Millennial wussrags with lattes and half pink hair. Where in the hell are Gene Kranz and the serious rocketmen?

Bob and Doug? For God sakes.

Sorry. Bill Kaysing passed away in 2005.

Sad it was scrubbed, hope Saturday goes off without a hitch.

Typical Elon Musk project: doesn't meet announced deadline

Weather scrub, no technical issues. Try again Saturday.

Why do they do this in FL? Seems there are weather concerns more often than not...

I'm guessing it's partially so that if there's a big boom, stuff lands in the water instead of on people. The weather in FL is generally pretty good, but then I think they need better than that to launch.

Closer to the equator. It's why the Europeans launch from French Guiana.

Musk is building his launch facility down at the southern tip of Texas for the same reason.

Interesting - surprised a couple of hundred miles would make a difference given the overall distance.

Water proximity makes sense if stuff goes wrong.

Here's hoping Godspeed to our star voyagers but Musk is number two on my list of really bright guys that I dislike.

Wouldn't that be great?

One thing to note, the Falcon 9 with the Dragon crew can just barely do the job. That is why there was only a one minute window for the launch. Very little margin.
