ULA to launch CST-100 Starliner Friday,July 30.
ULA has a terrible record of on-time launches, but we kinda want to pop down to view this one. Anyone else here planning on trying to see it?
I want to get the feel the heat package at KSC, but not willing to shell out the dough for something I have so little confidence happening over the weekend.
Probability of weather-related violation currently at 60%...

Is this SpaceX? SpaceX is currently the only billionaire space venture I support. So if not, I'm out.

I plan to watch it from my balcony whenever it launches - as I do all FL launches. If the launch is scrubbed due to weather, it might be rescheduled 24-48 hours later (Sat-Sun). If a technical issue w/the vehicle causes a scrub, the delay could be weeks or months until the anomaly is understood and resolved or deemed to be an acceptable risk.
ULA has 144 consecutive successful launches in part due to their rigorous weather condition constraints. ULA, Boeing, Aerojet-Rocketdyne, and NASA have tremendous financial investments in this mission and will not launch until all technical and weather issues are "go".

I wouldn't hold my breath. That damn thing was supposed to be in rotation with SpaceX for over 2 years now. And they have yet to have a successful launch, while SpaceX has been humming right along. I would get a condo in Cocoa and watch from there, not worth risking the KCS watch package money

I'm going to be around space coast Aug 13-15 and I was really hoping for a delay until that weekend
