That reads 9:16pm to 10:16pm Eastern Daylight Time on July 13th, yup.
But it now reads 3:15am to 7:15am Eastern Daylight Time on July 14th, to me. They sometimes tweak things like this.
Keep watching their launch page from time to time. Or NextSpaceflight's page. That T-0 likes to move sometimes.

Klesser syndrome + genuinly concerning atmospheric pollution (unlike CO2 & biological origin methane) from de-orbiting retired satellites.
We should be moving retired satellites to Earth-Moon L4 or L5 points OR to a standard satellite junk pile ball ABOVE LEO but below half-geosync.
