Agreed. Was disappointed they didn't show it. Also wanted to watch any fairing recovery attempts, but have not seen any update on that so not sure if there was one.

Getting closer....

I think that just leaves the other side booster to test. Current NET is August for Heavy.

Yeah, that's the second time they've tested that core with the booster nose cone in place. The first time was a couple months ago if I remember right. Curious as to why they are doing it again, after putting the main core on the stand and testing it. Still waiting for a static fire of the other booster. Wonder if the center core and second side booster will get tested twice.

Really can't wait for the full stack test fire at KSC! They better have some seriously awesome video of that!

I'm curious when they do those static fires if they have the booster anchored down enough to be able to hold down a full thrust, and if so, what sort of lockdown that takes to hold that mother down. Either that or the fire is a fraction of the full blown version?

/r/SpaceX has some great discussion on stuff like this. You'll find this very topic being talked about in the current top 2 threads. From this one...

We're on for Thursday. They're really holding to this two week cadence lately. It's impressive if they can keep it up and not blow anything up.

This one will be a landing at LZ-1, so it'll come back to land after sending Dragon on its way to ISS.

Launch day bump.

Scrubbed due to lightning in the area. Next window is Saturday at 5:07pm Eastern.

Actually kind of glad. Wasn't able to watch yesterday, but tomorrow I can.

Streams are live.

Go for launch. Light that candle.

Love that we're getting Stage 1 video the whole way down.

Agreed. Looking forward to the Dragon solar array deploy as well.
