That is called the pain chart/table.

Yes, the pain level on DIV Heavy is T-7 seconds, so luckily it scrubbed before that last week.

We are go for launch! The Launch Readiness Review (LRR) was completed this morning. At the conclusion of the meeting, senior leaders were polled and gave a unanimous “go” for launch. http://bit.ly/div_nrol71

The 19 mph ground wind is forecast for tomorrow so let hope it may died down a bit once the sun comes down for 5:57pm launch.

Dam, first time in the USA and long time lurker here.. was so excited for a launch to happen mere  2hrs drive from me.. and now this wind...

So there is 80% chance for the launch not happening..  What would you advice? To head up after the next forecast, about noon tomorrow? Renwick Ave or Floradale Ave ?

If you are still in town on Wednesday for the next launch attempt, the weather looks better.  As for viewing spot, I would suggest going to the Surf Beach Amtrak station.  It was open to the public during the initial launch attempt on the 7th and 8th.  I would suggest you get there at least 2 hours before launch.  It got pretty crowded after that when I was there on the 8th.

Looks like those days are over - you will now see a roadblock prior to Ocean Park and Surf Station, same as is done on other launches.  This started today.

from the live blog, a brief hold was called, now underway again:

"T-minus 2 hours, 53 minutes and holding. Fueling operations are on hold while the team is troubleshooting a valve at the launch pad. A red team is being sent to Space Launch Complex 6 to manually close the valve."

"The valve has been closed remotely and fueling operations are resuming."
"The Starship has landed"

Launch time adjusted to 5:49 PT, due to the hold earlier in the count.

Since the launch time has been moved by five minutes, the webcast should start in about ten minutes.

EDIT: Never mind. It'll start earlier.
