The hydraulic pin holding the tower arm in place did not retract.
If that can be fixed tonight, there will be another launch attempt tomorrow at 5:30 CT.

I sit and shake my head at the way the UK government runs this country into the ground, or how the Democrats made the US a furry-loving socialist DEI mess…
And then I see what the ANC government has done to South Africa and I just think to myself that maybe it really is time for that giant asteroid to end it all and hit the reset button for us all. Because this is some seriously crazy shit right here🤦🏼♂️
Sgt Fannie Nkosi’s house raid uncovered robbery and hijacking case files, stun grenade, R50 000 in cash hidden under his mattress according to Sowetan report!
This famous horse trainer in South Africa was beaten inhumanely with a shovel then tide up with copper wire, strangled with a cable and then executed.
This happened on Easter weekend!
South African farmers are not being killed in South Africa they are be slaughtered and tortured in the most horrific ways known to humanity.
All this is inspired by the song

They expected AI to expose flaws in the Bible.
Instead @Grok discovered coherence, patterns, and structure across texts written centuries apart.
Does that surprise you or confirm what you already knew? @elonmusk

This is Cyril Ramaphosa, he is the President of South Africa. He was caught at Maumela's Gate with Tbo Touch busy laughing in Sandton Exclusive Suburb, when his first pic came out this was his response;
1) I don't even know whose house that was, he was just on a random walk just like any of his random walks he usually takes in the mornings
2) then a video came out of him & his famous life, then he said " Ohh......I know that house, from my ex-wife who happens to be the chap's aunt whom I greet every time she visits the house "
3) "I know him as a Distant Nephew, am not connected to him & YES I know him a bit but we are not that close"
Mzansi, this is your President & guess what?
🔺️ The SIU got a Court Order to cease assets regarding Morgan Maumela for a R2Billion Corrupt tender, through which his 3 fancy Lambos were ceased which are rumoured being returned to him
🔺️ Their rumoured return of the Lambos happens after Andy Mothibi ( Former SIU Head ) having been promoted to NPA Boss
🔺️ The SIU had received a Court Order to even seach Maumela's House BUT couldn't touch him for an arrest 🤔🤔
Surely, we all know this has to do with Cyril Ramaphosa & protecting his "Distant Nephew" whilst everyone else associated with the Tembisa Hospital is getting arrested?
DID YOU KNOW🚨❓
Union Buildings statue: was ±R8 million
Eastern Cape statues (Mthatha & Qunu): ±R5 million.
Durban statue project: ±R23 million.
Sandton statue: R6 Million
We are comfortably spending tens of millions on bronze while taps are dry, clinics are short-staffed and schools are using pit toilets.
Don’t get me wrong ne, Mandela deserves honour. But at what point do we ask: honour with statues or honour with service delivery?
R22 million could fix water infrastructure in multiple communities.
R8 million could upgrade clinics.
R3 million could build classrooms.
Instead we keep commissioning bronze while people are queueing for basics
And remember the giant R22 million flag proposal that was stopped under Nathi Mthethwa?
😭 We almost built a monument to while potholes were swallowing cars whole.
Maybe the next statue should be of a working tap. That one would trend for decades and for the right reasons.

Our government chose to building a useless statue instead of building houses for people

A foreign national by the name of Felix, who raped a 12-year-old girl, was caught inside the taxi trying to flee and go back to the country of his origin; we would like to thank the people who alerted the police and taxi marshals about this Criminal rapist.
