Wow, nearly a million two hundred thousand watching on youtube alone.

If this keeps up, I suspect there will be over 2 million watching on youtube alone by launch time.

Btw, just saw a crew member tightening his seat safety belts.☺

Uh oh, weather is now trending badly....Damn!

The weather has been awful today......but hopefully it will settle down for the launch.

They say weather going the wrong way, whatever that means for the launch

Just FYI, SpaceX has no few very angry old engineers from the DC-X and Rotary Rocket programs too. It’s not just new guys and gals but people who are still angry about NASA forcibly stifling private space flight from the 80s through the 2010s to protect their precious Shuttle.

I lived in Satellite Beach and watched a few launches, too.
It’s absolutely amazing to watch.

I think they’re doing this one on one of the ocean drone barges. Here’s a 15 second video of the recent Starlink booster returns. Two of them landing simultaneously.

Crew Dragon is where the astronauts are. Falcon is the rocket upon which it sits to propel takeoff.

I was staying in a condo on the beach and watched from the balcony.

But, back home in Broward County, we could see the Shuttle in the sky during a launch. It was cool, but not nearly as awesome as being right there.

I looked it up...it was Endeavor STS-97 at around 10:30 at night. It lit up the sky like it was daytime.

Awesome, clean and modern looking craft and facilities. Somewhere there is an Italian designer smiling:

Stanley Kubrick is smiling, too.

See my post #54...

Based on what they’re saying, I’m gonna say it’s a scrub.

Not that I WANT that......
