"the one where the rocket noticed it didn't have legs and didn't want to launch"?
Why in the world is July 4th marked as a launch attempt? It was not... Only July 3rd (scrub) and July 5th was.

(The colors do kinda blend together for me, I don't have spectacular color vision. That's one reason I used to like using the bold tt font in the manifest, I could actually see what color things were marked.)
I think it's not too unwarranted, since there was widespread speculation that there would be an attempt, and Musk explicitly tweeted that there would not be. It's not quite the same as just another day going by out of 14 in a long slip...
They said in the webcast that they were going to attempt a launch at the 4th. Then they decided to delay one day in order to review all rocket and pad systems, so that counts as an attempt that was delayed in my book.

Both are very good suggestions, but I think I prefer the hurricane one!QuoteFalcon 9 Flight 42 - OTV-5 (X-37B Spaceplane)payload mass: classified orbit: classified delivered orbit: classified core number: B1040 - RTLS - Pad 39A [142] F) 2017-08-31, Successful static fire [142] L) 2017-09-07, Successful launch (the one launched in the teeth of a hurricane) [143] BR) 2017-09-07, Successful landing at LZ1 [143]
