@militantangleno Launch Alert ‼️
Scheduled for 7:41pm
Sunset @ 7:35

[Bob Castro @castrobert]

@militantangleno I think they kept delaying the launch hoping for the winds would calm. Better weather this week, too many clouds this evening.
Unfortunately launching around 4:00pm

[Bob Castro @castrobert]

@militantangleno @SpaceX @Starlink They are now saying the launch is delayed to 7:56

So if you're in California, the reentry of Crew 11's dragon spacecraft should be visible just after 12:30am tonight, look west and it'll appear as a bright, slow moving meteor.
If you're in SoCal you might even hear the sonic boom.

SpaceX is planning a Falcon 9 launch from @SLDelta30, with the launch window opening at 8:36 p.m. tonight, just 18 minutes after local sunset. If it launches on time, it could be a pretty one. 📷🚀🔭
