Fuel temps have good margin to limits.

Looks like blue skies are heading towards the pad - a good sign.

Send somebody out to clean off the lens!

Bummer, we're gonna end up with a subpar launch vid cuz of the H2O. :(


Looks like a weather briefing 10 min before scheduled countdown pickup.

Hopefully there'll be a camera on the rocket to make up for it. There has been on all four previous flights. The vibrations from launch shake off most of the water.

Ecliptic Enterprises' website (manufacturer of RocketCams) doesn't show Falcon on their schedule. (though SpaceX might have their own home-grown system instead)

I think SpaceX have their own system. None of the other Falcons were listed as RocketCam missions.


I sure hope so...............  only reason I'm sitting in front of the laptop when I should be sleeping

If I like something on NSF, it's probably because I know it to be accurate.  Every once in a while, it's just something I agree with.  Facts generally receive the former.
