#DEIMOS2 just captured #FalconHeavy vertical on the launch pad & Landing Zone 1 @NASAKennedy today! Everything is ready for the giant rocket to blast off on its first test flight, if winds allow it! Good luck @elonmusk

To to clarify to everyone who might be new here, the ground winds (what Steven is referring to) are not the concern today. They are well within limits. It's the Upper Level Winds between 30,000 and 40,000 feet that are the concern.
