This one was delayed from Sunday. SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, September 13 for a Falcon 9 launch of 54 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The instantaneous launch window is at 10:10 p.m. ET. The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched CRS-22, Crew-3, Turksat 5B, Crew-4, and CRS-25. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff HERE

Just a thanks Rocky.
Installed my new Davis weather station a couple of days ago and still learning about it.
I will bug you when I go down the .41 special hole. Thanks.

I will bug you when I go down the .41 special hole. Thanks. I have owned a custom Ruger Single Six so chambered for years. Lighter loads of course, 215 SWC's at 800 fps. Some years ago Joel was tossing cans with it at 100 yards at the hog hunt.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

The launch is now set for 9:48 pm Eastern tonight.
You'll love that Davis weather station. Ditto the .41 Special. BTW, I'm about to sell all or most of my guns including the .41. If you want to talk a package deal of gun, ammo and reloading supplies, PM me. Nevada is close enough for a handoff.

First stage landing on the drone ship is very cool. That alone is worth the price of admission.

Well, they tried. They got down to T-30 seconds before they had to scrub for weather. That was the third time this week that weather has been too bad to launch. No word yet on when they'll try again.

Scrubbed for weather for the fourth time. They're saying they'll try again tomorrow night, T-0 yet to be determined.

Rocky,
Any idea how much a scrubbed launch costs? Also, will any chemicals, gases, etc need to be refilled to perform specific tasks during launch?
Regards
