I was just thinking today that I would like to drive to Florida and see one launch but I can't imagine if I did and it got scrubbed.

One other thing I just read is that this Echostar satellite will be the heaviest communication satellite ever launched. 9 metric tons.



I wonder if they are going to add some extra porn channels to Dish Network with all the extra capacity.

Of course at this stage, satellite TV is dying, this may just be a replacement of a dying satellite since most satellites have a life span of 5 to 15 years.

Internet or TV either way they will probably be transmitting out some spanking material whether it’s broadcast TV’s no nudity sex scene or some one downloading the weirdest fetish porn available on the internet via Hughes Net. It will could be used for porn.,

looks like SpaceX has called off tonight's 2nd attempt to launch the Falcon Heavy... next attempt to launch it is TBD

but all is not lost as there's a Falcon 9 Starlink mission set for launch at 9:20 PM CDT from the Cape with the booster landing on the droneship "A Shortfall of Gravitas" out at sea

also... a fun note from the Starship R&D in Boca Chica, Texas... the new water-cooled metal plate will have a full pressure test of its water cooling system tomorrow... should be a fun show of the power of water

it appears that Falcon 9 launch has been pushed back to its 1st backup window... which opens at 10:10 PM CDT

I assume weather is causing issues... which I'm sure is why Falcon Heavy was delayed

by the way... Falcon Heavy is on for tomorrow night

if the weather doesn't cooperate.. it'll have to scrub
