Just had to approve my own content due to the use of the ‘U’ word! 😆

I thought I was the only one who noticed that, from now on we'll call it an anomaly!

The launch was amazing in our early morning sky.

Have to download the camera now, but here's our Florida version of the Aurora. A few minutes after the launch.

Thanks for the heads up.

The weather looks a bit unsettled though ; and its storm season in Texas.

[Space Hopper]

Blowing a gale there now in Texas.

[Davey-T]

Launch cancelled.

Dave

[Davey-T]

Looks to be abandoned until Monday as they don't normally launch at weekends.

Dave

[Davey-T]

SN15 may have another go at launching later today, hope it's not as windy there.

Dave

[Jonk]

Yep, still on target. Watch here ->

 

[Laurieast]

Do you know a launch time?

 

[Jonk]

No time, but my guess would be at the very least, an hour from now. Probably 2 or 3, depending on any issues.

If you keep an eye on the stream, typically, launch has been around 45 minutes after 'tank farm activity' is shown on the status list.

Thanks - I was going to ask the same question but @Laurieast beat me to it !

How long do you expect until Launch Dave? I’ve been checking in every now and then but can’t tell.

Looks like they've got a problem.

[JemC]

they still have 4 hours left in the time window, but vehicles just gone to launch pad, not a good sign 
 

[johnfosteruk]

Looks like delays, possibly going to be scrubbed. The Channel I watch (NASASpaceflight - link below) shows flight/prep status and it's just jumped back 2 steps (from Final Checkouts, to Village Cleared), vehicles approaching the pad, after the roads had been closed. Not looking good for now, but as JemC says, still 4hrs left.
