I'm going to see falcon 9 tonight at 11. Is anyone else going and want to meet up? I'm meeting up with my pops and we don't really know what we are doing LoL.

I can't tell when or if it will hit the launch site so assume that the 45th Weather Squadron knows what to expect. |

I'm at the max brewer bridge getting bummed out more and more by the minute. |

Here is the info from the spaceX.com website on the Falcon Heavy launch
SpaceX is targeting Monday, December 11 at 8:14 p.m. ET for Falcon Heavy’s launch of the USSF-52 mission to orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A backup launch opportunity is available during the same time on Tuesday, December 12. Source. |

This is the discussion from 1:00 PM EST on 10 December 2023 for the Starlink 6-34 launch on 11 December 2023.
Launch Mission Execution Forecast Mission: Falcon 9 Starlink 6-34 Issued: 10 Dec 2023 / 1300L (1800Z) Valid: 11-12 Dec 2023 / 2300 – 0300L (12/0400 – 0800Z) Forecast Discussion: A strong cold front will push through the area tonight, bringing showers and a few thunderstorms. By sunrise Monday, the front and associated weather will have pushed well offshore, with surface high pressure building across the state. This will set up breezy conditions for Monday night’s launch attempt but otherwise favorable weather. This northeasterly low-level flow will strengthen further by the delay day opportunity as a weak trough develops along the old frontal boundary to the south, also triggering a few more clouds locally. Thus, liftoff winds remain a concern for both the Monday night and Tuesday night launch attempts, with a secondary concern on the backup day being additional upper-level cloud layers. Source Liftoff winds are also a concern for the Falcon Heavy launch. |

Standing down from tonight’s Falcon Heavy launch due to a ground side issue; vehicle and payload remain healthy. Team is resetting for the next launch opportunity of the USSF-52 mission, which is no earlier than tomorrow night.

Kind of wondering if I should stay in Titusville and see if they launch tonight or go home? I've been here sense sunday morning. Done all the usual sight seeing like the warbird museum. I actually went to that twice killing time. Once yesterday, once today. Went to a bunch of other places too. I'm in Daytona now screwing around killing time while mulling over the idea of going home or staying another night.
I'd really, really like to see a falcon heavy launch in person. But damn I can't just sit around for days waiting for them to go. This is my 3rd day here waiting on a launch. What do you fellas think the odds are of them launching the heavy to night? |

The odds of launching tonight are a bit better than than last night.
Probability of Violating Weather Constraints is 20%. Up to you. If you miss it, you're going to miss one hell of a show. |
