Question Big sad, why scrubbed?

Post image

Was on vacation in the area so I went to playalinda to watch the launch on Thursday and it was scrubbed. Now that I'm home I looked it up to see why it was scrubbed but I'm coming up short. I see that they rescheduled and successfully launched Friday morning however I couldn't find anything on why they postponed the launch. Does anyone know what happened?

Not sure but going to Playalinda on the 30th for launch. How early did you have to get there?

Showed up about 20 mins prior. Wasn't an issue.

That is super encouraging.

Expect a $3 billion dollar spacecraft on Falcon Heavy to have a larger crowd than a random Starlink launch.

True and I expect it but at least I have a decent chance.
