These rockets are designed to go upwards of 25,000 MPH....so why do 'upper level winds' preclude a launch?

25,000 mph in a completely different direction relative to the structure. And that's not through thick atmosphere.

If you have an empty paper towel roll, is it easier to break it by pushing down it's axis, or by pushing from the sides?

This should be the second seven time launch of a booster.  I am surprised that SpaceX is using this for a paying customer.  The reuse of returned boosters is a trailblazing process and unexpected/undetected system/component failures can't be ruled out.

Who is Dave Calhoun?

Trailblazing increasing number of flights per booster can be done with Starlink flights.

I imagine they have more than enough data to satisfy the customer and the insurance companies that the seventh reuse of a booster won't be an issue.

What is the best way to get notified for Just spacex launches?

supercluster alerts to every launch and is kinda annoying.

nm space launch now does just florida or by agency.

Not sure how smart she is after listening to her stumble through the entire broadcast.
Maybe she's still reeling from getting drunk and spit roasted last night.

That was not normal.   Maybe it was because she was squeezed into that little box-like screen area instead of the unconstrained normal view.

Caught one at night , it was freaking amazing.
When the boost-back burn started I thought the rocket blew up , the visual took up 1/5th of the night sky.
Then it vanished and lit up again on the landing burn about 2 minutes later.

I hope this launch goes late tomorrow and I think it probably will , if at all.
We have a front moving in right now and it's not forecast to clear out until tomorrow afternoon.
It's about to get windy and rainy with T-storms and last all night and in to the day.

Fingers crossed !!!
