    Not happening today; latest Tweet from SpaceX:
    ——————————————————————-
    Standing down from today's launch of the tenth Starlink mission to allow more time for checkouts; team is working to identify the next launch opportunity. Will announce a new target date once confirmed with the Range
    ———————————————————————-

    I wonder if there continue to be issues with the booster. This will be its fifth flight. SpaceX is pushing the envelope...of course. :cool:

    My SpaceXNow app shows it with a new date of August 5, 10:33pm PDT

    No doubt, similar reason to why a previous launch got delayed, Bob and Doug returning today has priority.

    Likely delayed because of weather issues and Bob and Doug's return.

    First post updated with latest guess...

    NASASpaceflight is also doing "play by play" livestreams of SpaceX launches similar to Tim Dodd. NASASpaceflight is a website, forum, and news articles about all manner of rocket launches.

    This new host explained quite well the different factors that go into go-no-go for a fairing catch attempt. Just because both ships are in position does not mean they are trying for sure: weather on the way down might make them call off the attempt and revert to fetching out of the water.
