They have a one second launch window. Any kind of hold is a scrub till tomorrow.

 

[ScepticMatt]

5 minutes to go

 

[DrForester]

I don't think this is going to happen today.

 

[Hrothgar]

Yeah, me neither.

 

[itsgreen]

[Jezbollah]

I don't think this is going to happen today.

Me neither.

[JaggedSac]

 

[Trouble]

They just realized they forgot the E in the mission name and scrubbed the launch.

 

[itsgreen]

Tomorrow another try...

 

[~Kinggi~]

[Mindlog]

Monday 8 February 607PM EST.
Sounds good to me.

 

[Jibbed]

Sounded like quite a few things weren't going to plan this evening, not surprised it was scrubbed.

 

[maquiladora]

Happy to hear it wasn't the fault of the Falcon! Get your shit together, USAF!

Their radar is down. Attack now!

674 day mission

 

[jchap]

Don't need to fire up the tracking radar that often when your unmanned space drone sits up in space for years at a time.

Tuesday it is...

 

[maquiladora]

Hopefully this goes ahead today.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I think I'm starting to develop a huge man crush on Elon Musk, is this weird GAF?

I'm just now reading up on the guy, and he is quite a successful individual. I had no idea he was an African-American too!

 

[Oriel]

Just over 3 hrs to the scheduled launch. Hopefully tonight will see Falcon 9 take off.

@elonmusk

Extreme wind shear over Cape Canaveral. Feels like a sledgehammer when supersonic in the vertical. Hoping it changes …

Doesn't sound good

 

[-SD-]

2 hours to go.

Here's another version of the infographic in the OP:

 

[ScepticMatt]

Pre-launch press conference live right now (edit: pre-recorded):

http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html

 

[Jezbollah]

Today's launch window of all of one second is due in 34 minutes time. The launch range is green, however high altitude wind is currently red, so unless we find a patch of calmer weather, today's launch will be a scrub too.

 

[ScepticMatt]

Scrubbed. too much wind.

Edit:
6:03:32 PM EST tomorrow.

 

[DrForester]

No-go

 

[Hrothgar]

No launch today. Too much wind.

Of course it has to effin launch tomorrow All this work piling up on one day.

Not like they've had good success yet so cross your fingers!

 

[ScepticMatt]

Wind loads 51% above what the rocket can handle. Hoping for better weather tomorrow.

 

[Trouble]

lol so true

Again? If space travel is to truly become like travelling by air then it's going to have to work on punctuality and regular schedules. Yes I know flights can be delayed or cancelled by bad weather. But usually not for long. And certainly not because of gusty winds. Dammit I want regular scheduled trips to Mars already!

Rant over.

Don't worry. The gigantic rocket that Musk plans to build for colonising Mars won't give a damn about wind
