Good morning from pad 39A. #FalconHeavy rolled out to pad ahead of today's 6:35 PM launch window opening. I'll have coverage (and more photos) throughout the day on @wmfeorlando.

Edit to add:

Heavy still horizontal at Pad 39A during remote cam setup. Hoping to see her go vertical!

First flight for Falcon Heavy Block 5 means there is some risk of failure between 5% to 10% imo. Many good design improvements from Falcon Heavy demo, but the changes are unproven.
