Noting this late change of the final launch time to backup time #1.

UPDATE #3: @SpaceX has moved the @Starlink Group 10-10 launch to the first backup launch opportunity at 06:10:00 UTC with deployment at 07:13:53.140 UTC: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/supplemental/.

Edited to correct my error.

Noting this oopsie; perhaps there was almost a delay to backup time #1?

UPDATE #3: @SpaceX has moved the @Starlink Group 10-10 launch to the first backup launch opportunity at 06:10:00 UTC with deployment at 07:13:53.140 UTC: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/supplemental/.

What oopsie? The launch was indeed delayed to 06:10 UTC.

What oopsie? The launch was indeed delayed to 06:10 UTC.

Ugh.
No one updated the thread title with the final launch time.  I couldn't watch or post in real-time and didn't catch it.  I will edit the thread title and my post.

Thank you. 😊
