THIS IS WHY STATIC FIRE IS SO IMPORTANT. Testing these late abort mode and procedures.
ULA and Orbital ATK (and probably other launch providers) rehearse abort procedures for every launch and they don't do static fires.

OK, remember to keep this thread clear for updates only still. Use the discussion thread for everything else.

SpaceX is requesting the 5th from the Eastern Range, per an e-mail to the media just now. That's a bit more definitive than 5th or 6th, per it being an update.

Looks like they are working on it at the pad instead of rolling back.

The 45th have done an updated weather forecast for tomorrow, but the link on their website isn't working yet!
However, I don't think they update forecasts unless range approval has been granted?

KSC acting like they are pushing for a launch on the 5th with the roadblock notices, etc (like the last time). Certainly points to the range being able to support. All depends on the resolution timeline.
