A short hold as Coast guard escorted a small boat out of the area. So far the weather looks good.

Watching with a bunch of boarding school boys - or trying to. Only real way to watch it here in Australia is whatever FOX News or CNN shows us and with the hold, we are just getting news I have to keep an eye on in case it somehow goes into areas ‘unsuitable’ for young minds

Its unmanned so it should be fine for young viewers even if there’s a failure.

New launch time 7:17 eastern.

It’s mostly a matter of what else the news shows while they are waiting. The launch won’t be a problem - unless I have to order them to bed before it happens. It’s 11.07pm here - I’m supposed to have them in bed by midnight at the latest.

Wonder what this sets us back in tax dollars.

The news here is unwatchable this morning. Nothing but race baiters all over the TV. I tried BBC news and ended up with Cornell West.

The really cool thing about living here in Tampa is that you can watch the initial launch on TV, then run outside and watch it going up from the Cape, about 100 miles away. During night launches it seems to go on forever.
