EDIT #6 - Launch scrubbed for the night, damn....better safe than sorry though! Keep your eyes and ears open for next launch attempt in the coming weeks (hopefully! - no alternate launch dates set yet!)! :)

EDIT #5 - Tanks depressurized - launch currently aborted, but launch NOT scrubbed for this evening YET - updates pending. Launch aborted due to negative telemetry from Launch Computers during countdown sequence - launch stopped at essentially T - 00m, 00s. Potential Launch Window closes in 51 minutes as of 8:30pm Atlantic Standard Time.

EDIT #4 - Launch aborted at T-00 mins, 00 secs. Unknown reasons at this time.

EDIT #3 - Here we go! :D

EDIT #2 - Launch was on hold - naval vessel fouling precautionary launch range for SES-9 - countdown has JUST restarted for a 8:21/8:22pm Atlantic Standard Time launch.

EDIT #1 - Livestream started now!

Hi fellow Oppos! Not cars, no, but Space vehicles are still pretty awesome in my books! :D

For those of you wanting to watch SpaceX’s next attempt at a sea barge landing, they will be having another launch this evening and the livestream is just coming up now! Hit te link and join me in watching it - could potentially be history in the making! :D

Friggin fouled range. I was hoping to watch the launch before I had to leave the house, but now I’m not so sure...

For sure, I imagine there are radio messages and marine communiques for anybody to stay out of the launch range, so it’s doubly annoying somebody violated it...now we’re in for a 20+ minute wait! :(

When I saw them reset the countdown, I passed along word that I’d be a bit late. Rockets > Oscars.

Womp womp. Oh well, I kinda wondered if an abort would happen, given the timing of the previous hold. Next time, then.

Yeah :(

I’m doubting launch will happen tonight at this point, but the Launch Window doesn’t close for 51 minutes yet, so there’s a SLIM chance we may still see a launch tonight...

Wow, that was really close to launching. Good thing either SpaceX or the Falcon 9's own computers saved it.

4th time is the charm I guess.

“@SpaceX Launch aborted on low thrust alarm. Rising oxygen temps due to hold for boat and helium bubble triggered alarm”

Stupid boat! I was super excited for a night launch. We were sitting down range on the beach.

Sorry to hear to you too - wish I was there for a front row seat, but I’m way up here in Nova Scotia! Next launch will be the charm, here’s hoping! :)
