This one keeps slipping through the window, so it's getting tight if it'll make it off the pad to make it a hat trick of Falcons in a matter of hours.Proof once again East Coast is the best coast. 😅
Due to unfavorable weather, we are standing down from tonight's Falcon 9 launch of @Starlink from California. Vehicle and payload remain healthy. Teams continue to keep an eye on the weather as they work toward the next best opportunity for liftoff – we will announce a new launch date once confirmed on the Range
UPDATE #4: @SpaceX has scrubbed for this launch window due to weather violations. Expect new data for next launch window shortly.
