Rocket Lab had a scrub of a planned launch earlier tonight.

Maybe things will line up and we get Starliner going up in rapid sequence with a bunch of other orbital launches?

I'll be watching West of the I-95 today.
Committed to installing a mini-split HVAC unit on a 2 story house this weekend.
At least it's breezy and cooled down somewhat.

Boeing is doing their own live stream.

Boeing Starliner Launches NASA Astronauts to the International Space Station


Didn't know that was a thing they did.

And since its become a personal tradition to provide music for certain launches.

Is it just me or does the interior of Starliner look really cluttered compared to Crew Dragon.

Its certainly different. I haven't been in either craft but the metaphor i find myself using in this case is of ships from Babylon 5. Starliner reminds me of old Earthforce Hyperion Class Cruisers while Dragon reminds me of a White Star.

They probably should have held the Stewart Smiley self-affirmation speech until the rocket cleared the tower, or, well, at least until the Starliner MAX safely reached orbit. . . .
