They may do it for a new booster.

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?

The weather looks good
Atlas is standing tall , strong, and proud
The sun rises above.

Feels like a good day to go to space.#CFT. #Starliner. #AtlasV.

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.

It's a control issue on the Centaur topping valves. Stopped flow and not actively topping at this point. Troubleshooting. pic.twitter.com/Q7A6zFAPfM

The #AtlasV launch team implemented a workaround to resolve the ground instrumentation issue with Centaur topping by switching to redundant circuitry. And with that, approval has been radioed to close the #Starliner hatch for flight. https://t.co/yCCjHu9R5K pic.twitter.com/g1BCKFX1dj

Boeing is doing their own live stream.

Boeing Starliner Launches NASA Astronauts to the International Space Station

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W-Xp4GkuyU

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. . . .
