T-1 hour. The cape looks rather wet.

Good morning from Kennedy Space Center, where weather's questionable for SpaceX's 0751 ET Falcon 9 / Starlink launch. Instantaneous window, so keep your fingers crossed for an opening.

Does anyone recall so many scrubs of so many rockets at the Cape in such a short period of time?

RocketLover0119 · « **Reply #256 on:** 10/05/2020 02:49 pm »

I hate to have a mindset like this, but if one more scrub occurs and launch happens Wednesday, launch would be a few minutes before sunrise, making a twilight phenomenon.

Well, you would have to have this many rockets scheduled to fly in a compressed time to have the "opportunity" to have this may scrubs. So, it's a good thing???

This may have been discussed already, but I believe STS-61-C is an example.
