Yes, there is a risk it will be rescheduled. Fingers cross that doesnt happen.

Next up is Saturday. This time of year, not uncommon for thunderstorms every afternoon in central Florida. Don't know why they planned the launch in the late afternoon.

Launch windows are selected based on the alignment of the launch region to the target. There is some complicated math used to determine best time to launch in order to minimize fuel usage, flight duration, etc.

They had almost no leeway on this one if they were going to reach the ISS. Sure not like the old days.

Just got back from watching. We were across the Bay and about 5 miles from launch, great sight. Next stop the Moon and then Mars (I hope).

Walter, that must have been incredible. I’ve never had the chance to see a launch in person. Someday!
