It's a one second launch window, so if it had been 30 seconds later it would have been too late.

yeah I have a better understanding of what they are trying to do, they would have been too far away from the ISS if they waited it would not even be nearby that thing moves stupid fast
those link ups with the ISS is narrow
ULA could not even make it to the ISS the last time they tested their crew shuttle empty.

Motherfucker, better to be safe.
Seems so weird a bat out of hell rocket screaming many times faster than the speed of sound that goes to space and back gets pushed around by weather systems.
Mother says no, she's the boss.

Why Are Rockets Launched from Florida?
Rockets have been blasting off from Florida for 60 years, but why is the Space Coast a prime spot for launches?

it is funny that NASA couldn't predict the weather
like, there are hundreds of scientists all telling us what the weather will be like in 25, 50, 100 years with absolute certainty. they tell us we are killing the planet and that "millions will die" based on their predictions.
yet they couldn't predict the weather for Wednesday
just something to think about

Those are two different things with very large differences in precision and timing.

Exactly. Predicting the weather is akin got predicting the daily machinations of the stock market. Predicting the climate is taking lots of data and looking for long term trend lines, kind of like how you can assume a % gain to any investment given enough time based on past performance.
Couldn't be more excited to tune into this and ignore everything else for a bit.Second time lucky
It sucks because it feels like all the hype and excitement has gone now.
But yeah

Yeah. Hype or not, though, it’s just as important as it was on the 27th.

But you wouldn't take long term stock advice from someone who was consistently wrong about the daily machinations of the stock market, either. If weather is used as a benchmark for climate in one direction, it's only fair to use it in another.
You bastard, I almost spit out hot coffee!

That’s Florida for you. Not a cloud in the sky and then it’ll start raining out of nowhere

Yeah, not much competition though...
But I'm with you. I feel like going to Mars will be humanity's greatest achievement to witness in my lifetime. Mars is meant to be 2024 for people I think?
I had to check, but according to Wikipedia, humans have been around for half a million years. Getting to Mars will be the end of a chapter for sure.

I still maintain that those motherfuckers who were a part of the moonshot needed a wheelbarrow to hold their massive testicles. These men strapped onto some ICBMs , with nav computers less powerful than a Gameboy, and went to the fucking moon!
Jesus, what balls.
