    I feel this important information about the launch attempt today has been overlooked.

    I just found out that the first potential launch will be at night. Interestingly, Apollo 17’s launch was also at night.

    I'm sure I watched other Apollo launches when I was a kid, but that's the one I remember most.

    I remember 17 and the Skylab launches. Got pissed off when I found out we weren't going back to the Moon and lost interest until the shuttle program started heating up.

    They're tanking. Core stage is full, 60+% H2 on the 2nd stage, 93% O2.

    Man, hearing about all the issues and potential issues they're having (intermittent leak on the replenish valve) reminds me why LH2 is such a PITA to work with.

    T-minus 10 minutes and holding. I think they're aiming for about 1:30 AM EST. Might still be 1:07 though.
