L-2 weather forecast still showing Sep 28th launch but seems doubtful (unless NROL-44 slips much further). FWIW 28th is 70% GO
Sources later said the Falcon 9 launch from pad 39A was delayed to Thursday [October 1] at 9:17 a.m. EDT (1317 GMT).
It's getting very busy offshore! Dual droneship deployment!OCISLY, GO Quest and Ms. Chief are in position to support the Starlink mission. Tug Hawk is towing JRTI towards the GPS LZ.Ms. Tree is still docked in Morehead City - unclear if she will take part in either mission.
Sometimes it feels like ULA is doing this on purpose…
At this point I'm just waiting to see if Ken the Bin finds an updated NOTMAR for the launch or not. With NROL-44 moving around so much, wonder if this could end up staying on the 28th.

L-1 Weather forecast is 60% go.https://www.patrick.af.mil/Portals/14/Weather/Falcon%209%20StarlinkV1_0-L12%20L-1%20Forecast%20-%2028%20SEP%20Launch.pdf?ver=pzeLCCXqEIYXFrCwNK0nBw%3d%3d
Is this date for this launch legit? Shouldn't SpaceX wait for Delta launch?

This is just how the schedule worked out when NROL-44 moved another day.

Regardless we’ve come a long way since May, 2005, when SpaceX was told to wait indefinitely at Vandenberg for an NRO launch.

SpaceX can’t launch immediately if given a chance, it takes time.
