Sitting through all the inspirational presentations, waiting for the launch.
Yeah, I know it's important, but... :zzz:
Weather might be a factor...

Links for stream?
Just joining in the fun...
Well, technically not a SpaceX scrub as all vehicles have the same anvil cloud rule (no anvil clouds within 10 NMi of the pad). Shuttle was even stricter, 30 NMi for RTLS.And we have Scrub-X again.

It was the LWO and MFCO that called the hold.

Well, launching through electrically charged clouds is a lesson learned for both NASA (Apollo 12) and USAF (AC-67). NASA almost lost the mission(close call only thanks to John Aaron (EECOM, recognizing the failure signature when no-one else did) and Alan Bean (LMP, knowing the SCE switch), while the USAF did lose the missionStill, its a whole lot of excuses on that list for not launching on time. Especially since thunderstorms in Florida are not the exception, they are the rule.
I doubt its as timid outside the USA.
They always have had instant launch opportunities to ISS, even before stage 1 reuse.GLS said:But the shuttle didn't have a 1s launch window (for the ISS).
I think that landing the 1º stage in the barge means there will be alot of scrubs because of the lack of hold capability. Now, is that aceptable because you get the 1º stage back? Not sure...

While that is true, it all comes down to the risk-trade. In this case, the risk is against launching through electrically charged clouds when no-one can reset the computer.Thats wrong - NASA managed to lose flights even in clean dry air to static electricity.
