We've got another one tonight from Vandenberg Space Force Base:

Weather is still condition RED.

Scrubbed for 24 hours.......weather will be better tomorrow......

I just got the carbs off my latest Interceptor purchase so will begin service operations.....not everything was scrubbed today! ;)

Vandenberg flight is still on for &;30 pm PST.
The southern track is awesome to watch. Straight down the California coast.

That may or may not be a show. Sunset here is 7:11 pm. There may be just enough light over the horizon to backlight that.

Is the launch 8:30 or 7:30?
Thought I saw 7:30-11:30 is their window.

Space X reported it as now 8:30 pm Pacific Time. I'd been sitting on my front patio waiting, googled it and saw the change.

T minus 3 minutes......

Boeing Starliner's crew debut delayed again over spacecraft issue

WASHINGTON, May 14 (Reuters) - Boeing's (BA.N)
, opens new tab first Starliner mission carrying astronauts into space has been delayed again - until at least May 21 - over an issue with the spacecraft's propulsion system, the company said on Tuesday.
Starliner's mission carrying two NASA astronauts had been scheduled for liftoff from Florida last week until a technical issue with its Atlas 5 rocket prompted a delay to Friday, May 17, the latest postponement for a program years behind schedule and more than $1.5 billion over budget.
A new technical issue, now concerning Starliner itself, has prompted another postponement to at least next Tuesday, Boeing said in a statement.
"Starliner teams are working to resolve a small helium leak detected in the spacecraft's service module," Boeing said, adding that engineers traced the leak to a component on one of the propulsion system's 28 control thrusters that are used for maneuvering in Earth's orbit.

Had a launch yesterday, could hear the rumble even over the noise of the tractor I was running. They're talking f even more launches a year:

Saw a youtube vid where the giant Spacex Mars rocket will take circa 14 similar rockets to be launched into earth orbit to refuel the Mars rocket.

Not sure of the time stamp on the vid. Kinda made me say shucks.

Now they're issuing warnings, there's been a lot of complaints from the folks in Lompoc:
