Cargo Dragon launch
Apparently no static fire before launch this time which is highly unusual if not a first for SpaceX

It was also the first launch of a new booster versus a used one in quite a while.  Twenty launches if I am not mistaken.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

But what about the engines on board?  Those get swapped around a lot.  They could have been reflown.

Looks like 16 is going nowhere and may be scrapped while 17 is currently being scrapped since it looks like they're going straight to orbital with SN20

Someone bid $28 million for a 10 minute BO flight. Some are saying it would be funny as heck if it was Musk or Branson.

Scrubbed due to range violation. Speculation they couldn't get the range clear before the weather closed in so they scrubbed

They're saying a plane cause the range violation. Probably Bezos trying to see what a real launch actually looks like

Elon Musk, SpaceX's founder and CEO, says an aircraft ventured into the keep out zone around the Falcon 9's flight path, triggering the last-minute hold.

SCRUB. SpaceX confirms the Falcon 9 launch won’t happen today after a last-minute hold at T-minus 11 seconds due to a “fouled range.” The next opportunity for launch is tomorrow at 2:56 p.m. EDT (1856 GMT).

Seeing some posts saying it was a Navy P-8 that causes the scrub.
