Another 24 hour slip. Tuesday.

Where is the official delay report ? I tried to look but can't find

Isn’t it obvious? There will be no official report.
FH is the real Zuma launch!

 

[hockeythug]

Getting there. Be it at a mobile launcher platform pace.

Maybe 2 static fires tomorrow!

Nice gotcha! Got it now. He's referring to two different launch vehicles.

Yeah, Falcon Heavy and an RS-25 test at Stennis.

I don't care when they do the test and when they do the launch. Actually I do care, but I am more interested in, getting updates every day. Something anything. What is the hold up? what is the plan next? How did you solve the latest problem you encountered?

As much as the launch is exciting, the events - trial and tribulations - leading upto the launch is equally exciting.

So keep feeding us something. Even if it is made up

Wish I were making this up, but now looking at NET 3pm EST this Friday for the next static fire attempt.

Nobody here can answer those questions with accurate information. Ifpeople start posting made up stuff it just decreases the S/N.

That’s how some of the most interesting conversations start!

They discovered the bungee cords were loose, and are modifying the attachment points.

The reason it is Friday instead of tomorrow is that ULA has an Atlas launch happening and SpaceX can't be fiddling around while ULA is doing official launch operations nearby.

Need more struts.

Get that you were only joking with that last sentence. Agree with everything else. Even a short vague tweet from Elon or SpaceX would keep most of us satisfied. SpaceX is certainly free to disclose nothing or anything concerning this first FH launch. No Zuma type stuff currently near pad 39A. I don't like the fact that NASA is still operating in the quick disposal rocket era, but as a public agency I've always appreciated their openness by giving real time accurate updates prior to a launch.

and the roadster is already on the way to Mars.

Or in the Indian Ocean, depending on who you listen to

Here's the latest and greatest!

“The Falcon Heavy static fire test has been rescheduled for no earlier than 3 p.m. EST (2000 GMT) Friday, the opening of a four-hour window.”
