So looking at differences between 39A and 40 and the one thing that stood out is the lightning rods. On 40 there were 4 around the pad, at 39A there's just the one on top of FSS. Guess being so close to the rocket it's fine?

Guess being so close to the rocket it's fine?There has been discussion that SpaceX has plans to build new lightening towers when they get an opportunity. Probably after the RSS comes down, the Crew Access Arm goes up, and after the tower is raised for the vertical integration hardware.
Why is SpaceX not running video until the last few minutes? It is their flight and rocket after all, not NASA's.
Looks like the SpaceX live streams only set to start at 10:01am eastern, but isn't that the lift-off time?
I'm pumped for the throwback, anyone else?
How come TVC not an scrub issue? How can it be resolved?
