I almost added the Remove Before Flight keychain to put on my motorcycle wheel lock. Don't want to try to drive off with it in place TWICE

Are we still talking about SpaceX launch or about the Soviets?
By the way, I heard that the launch was canceled due to rain? What a nuisance...
"Souz" launched in the rain time not so long ago... and he just continued flying to orbit ))


true, it was Soviet .... .I mean Russian spaceship, and you can fun at him ))

If they really wanna go to the moon, why not use the old rocketship that armstrong used. But wait it was a production film that they landed on the moon and it was just to show russia that they landed. We have come a long way since then and rockets still struggling to get up in the air

Not the most confidence inspiring thing to see hours before today's planned launch. 🙈

Hope all goes well for today’s launch as I’m looking forward to it as a sporting event. Popcorn and Corona’s ready!

Taking a drive with the family this afternoon to get some Seafood and hopefully watch the launch. I have a feeling it's going to get scrubbed again and pushed until tomorrow. Sunday is looking a little better with about 20% precipitation during launch window.

I believe that one of the directors (or the launch manager) at SpaceX was pushing heavy for a Sunday launch due to much better weather.

I won't be surprised if today is scrubbed.

Florida... where it can be raining hard on your front yard and in your backyard it's sunnier than ever.

Let's see what the weather looks like 30 minutes prior to launch to get a better idea.

Mark my words, something will be launching today. Either the rocket or someone will be thrown to the sky. I didn’t drive 14 hours back to Florida to get shafted! I’m all nice and calm now (see below) but if I don’t see a rocket in the sky I swear.....
