Are they still only projecting 60% chance for launch today, or has the weather improved or worsened?

New NASA launch forecast. 50/50 chance of go, down from 60/40.

All male crew. They probably didn't want the bad optics of a female dying if something catastrophic were to happen on the first manned test flight of the rocket.

NASA held safety over them at a cost-plus relationship (expensive)...how far can you relax that?

We're about to strap two dudes onto a rocket the length of a football field and blast them into outer-fricking-space and our news outlets would rather cover Trump's Twitter account.

I’m kinda selfishly hoping it gets scrapped so I can drive up the coast on Saturday and actually watch it with the kids. It’s pretty cloudy all over the East Coast of Florida today. These are usually visible from the beach a few hundred miles away but I doubt it will be today.

Have the computer set up for today though.

Link?

NVM I see it’s on NASA’s YouTube channel.

Also Reuter’s YouTube channel is showing the suit fitting full screen while NASA just has it in the corner of their broadcast.
