My oldest just left to drive up with a friend to watch the launch. They want to be there when the lots open at 3:30 a.m. Hopefully it all goes well.

Taking my kids to school late tomorrow to stay home and watch it. My oldest’s science teacher is going to stream it. I’ve been involved with this project and the Space Shuttle before it for over 20 years. Glad to see us going back up.

It's been raining for 8 hours straight in north central Florida Firstcoastnews weather channel is saying 36% chance of rain at 8 am, but nobody should ever trust Tim.

We are running about 50 min behind schedule due to lightning in the area. Unsure how much of that if any can be made up.

Just gave the clear to begin cryo load.

The NASA live stream looks to be counting down to about 7:03 CDT. Was the launch window moved up half an hour?

They are showing a T-minus countdown which doesn’t take into account planned holds.

If you want a “real time” countdown look for an L-minus countdown.

As of now L-minus count has an extra 30 minutes.

We are way behind. We’ll be at the back of the window if we make it.

So closer to 10:30am EST?

Just curious what you are behind on? filling the tanks, inspections, personnel?

Just saw NASA posted:

During the transition from slow fill to fast fill of LH2 into the
@NASA_SLS
rocket, we saw a spike in the amount of hydrogen that is allowed to leak into the purge can. The leak is at an acceptable level and we have returned to fast fill operations

Looking at the NASA reports, looks like the “leak” issue set it back an hour or so
