Targeting 20:00Z for a second and final attempt today. Being conservative about completing data review from the first attempt, so may not make the range-imposed end-of-day.

If they can't make it today. Will they try again tomorrow? At what time?

20:00Z would be in what, ~23min? Or am I doing something wrong?

We don't think so. SpaceX have said nothing since: "Test sequence complete."

Yes, it would.

Well, in that case, I wish Tom and his team good luck on getting this sorted out and getting the second attempt off today. Would be nice to watch, but I can understand them not bothering to webcast a second attempt, when most people (including myself) probably though the first one worked...

Range granting a 15 minute extension to the day.

Ah! And now I smack myself on the forehead for not getting it sooner.

The other logo has a P-POD on it.

And people used to whine about the Air Force holding SpaceX back on purpose...

Engine 6 was the problem.

What is corrective action? Or are limits just a little tight?

It's not just you.

By the way, SpaceX_MS, any idea what the third logo on the second stage is, the black one?

Yeah, I accidentially left the page up and noise started coming through the speakers. Went from reconnecting to buffering and then streamed for a few seconds and went off

SCRUB for the day.
