All of the procedural reviews and dress rehearsals are done! Weather's looking iffy for Wednesday, but aside from that, the only thing left to do is wait.

There's a two-hour documentary on Science Channel and Discovery Channel called "NASA & SpaceX: Journey to the Future." I was able to find it on demand. It's a nice pregame for the launch.

Weather is up to 60% GO for tomorrow.

Now it's really starting to hit. This is awesome.

Not feeling confident they get the launch in tomorrow. Weather is not cooperating. Here's a live stream:

Next windows are Saturday and Sunday, which don't look any better. Hopefully there's a break.

Probably not looking great today. Weather is at 50%, and that doesn't include the abort sites (one of which is on the edge of a tropical storm). We'll know more soon.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">A new forecast from the 45th now shows a 50% chance of favorable weather today, with 60% GO probabilities on Saturday &amp; Sunday (backup windows). This doesn’t include Atlantic weather for abort sites, however, which is still a concern.

Live feed on YouTube. My 9 year old hates my nerdy side.

RINGLEADER 05-27-2020 09:10 AM

When does it actually launch today (if it launches on time)? Am I reading right that it is around 1:30pm PST?
