Sounds like a scrub on yesterday’s static fire attempt
Quote from: FutureSpaceTourist on 11/30/2018 04:24 pmSounds like a scrub on yesterday’s static fire attemptWeird, 2nd static fire in a row with a scrub. Are they trying a new procedure or does anyone remember static fire delays with the Block 5 other than the one in Vandenberg last week?I guess static fire delays are the definition of "better safe than sorry" but I'd hope those two points don't become a pattern.
Does anyone know of a site which could be used to determine launch visibility with respect to the launch’s trajectory and a given location? I’ll be in Grand Turk for this launch, and naturally had been hoping for a southeastern trajectory, and so I’m wondering if any phase of the flight might be visible from a vantage point that far southeast.

What a weird statement seeing as it was the food bars causing the delay in the first place. The wording they use makes it sound like they're taking advantage of a delay caused by something else! Or is it just me?
