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. |

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

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. |

Watching the NASA feed while kids make pizzas. They are excited.
Any advantages to the other feeds? |

With Boeings recent reputation I wish the astronauts a safe journey.

Somewhere in a Boeing office there is an engineer with a loaded pistol on his desk waiting for the outcome of this launch.

"So proud of Boeing! . . ."

Well damn.
