Sounds like the scrub wasn't weather related, so there goes my "smooth sailing" observation.
It sounds like they're still working out some of the kinks with the new supercooled LOX (only used before on the launch that landed in December), so hopefully they'll get that figured out with this one. |

An abundance of caution? WTF?

If I'm understanding the reddit geeks' take, the colder they get it, the more power they have, and this flight will take about everything they've got.
So it's kind of like saying, "I think I've got enough fuel to drive 100 miles, and I only need to go 80, so I SHOULD be fine. But if I wait until tomorrow, the wind will be at my back, so I might as well wait just to be safe." EDIT: For a more techy hypothesis: Quote:

Not a cloud in the sky here at the Cape. Hope the wind eases a bit. Should be a nice launch.

Nice! I need to come down for a launch one of these days. I saw some random one go way back when I was a kid about 20 years ago, but I'd love go catch one of these in person. Especially once they get the F9-Heavy launches going.

I'm really excited about this one. Told my clients that I had another engagement and had to leave early. "Where do you have to go, Donger?" "Ummm, it's.... secret."
