Cloudy here right now but it looks to be clearing out.
Bummer.

Also, it now appears that NROL-44 (The Delta Heavy launch) is finally back from the dead and targeting that date as well.

I tried to post it in the NROL-44 thread but it was delayed so long that the thread has been archived...

Also NROL-108 (Falcon 9) is now targeting dec.17, hopefully ULA doesn't fuck the entire range schedule up with scrub after scrub like they did last time.

Start a new thread on it.  I suspect that I jinxed it.

You know what frustration looks like? See the little circle dead center? That's the "hold on, you're out of data" circle. Damn the family and their YouTube addictions!

I just finished watching the Starship test launch.  Hate it didn't nail the landing, but that was INCREDIBLE to see how it righted itself.  Just amazing watching multiple trails going in multiple directions to try and stabilize things.

Man that looks rough and ready.

Like a well worn M4 with a brand new suppressor on it.

While we are waiting let me entertain you with the shitty cellphone video I took of the Atlas-4 Heavy launch last night.

Too much cloud coverage here to watch from outside today, for me at least.

I'm on the North side of 520 now and a few miles closer to the Cape.
Looks like a decent sized hole opening up.
