[Will they make it?]

Is it carrying an Amazon Prime payload? :)

Launch scrubbed. The mob of cheering children put on camera are tucked into their beds. Time for Bezos to start sleeping under his desk at Blue Origin.

What is it with the color ‘blue’ in all things aerial? Project Blue Beam, houses with blue roofs and other blue objects resist DEW’s rays, Blue Origins, etc.

Failed. They need the woman from Hidden Figures to fix the math.

The Rocket was on the pad for months undergoing intensive testing.
You would think this “Sub System” issue would have come up and been solved.
But then again, it’s Bezos and Blue Origin.

Yeah I see that now - there are several dates possible as long as the weather remains bad. Heavy overcast now.

That’s cool.

IF SpaceX’s Starship launches on Wednesday, and Blue Origin sticks with their new launch time and dau, I’ll get two launches in one day (I’m on the West Coast, so it’ll still be Wednesday).
