Which first stage will be used for this launch?1060.16 is presumably still involved in its "deep-dive examination"? This would likely also remove 1058.16 from consideration for the meantime.Available first stages, with date of most recent recovery:1078.2 Mar 21062.14 Mar 91069.7 Mar 171067.11 Mar 241077.5 Mar 291076.5 Apr 7

L-0 launch weather forecast is still only 20% GO and [same for] tomorrow. So launch could be pushed back a while.

Storms are all around the area but ASOG droneship has found a gap and is underway from Port Canaveral to support Starlink 5-6!nsf.live/spacecoast
Now scheduled for May 4 per these NGA notices (the two Space Debris notices are the same notice for two different Navigational Areas).

If needed, there are additional launch opportunities the same day at 4:25 a.m. ET (08:25 UTC), 5:15 a.m. ET (09:15 UTC), and 6:06 a.m. ET (10:06 UTC). Backup opportunities are also available on Friday, May 5 at 3:09 a.m. ET (07:09 UTC), 4:00 a.m. ET (08:00 UTC), 4:50 a.m. ET (08:50 UTC), 5:41 a.m. ET (09:41 UTC), and 6:31 a.m. ET (10:31 UTC).The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched CRS-24, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13F, OneWeb 1, SES-18 and SES-19, and two Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.
