Scrubbed for today. Was supposed to be this evening UK time.

There's a backup window tomorrow (Weds 5th May).

Could be later today Wed 5th May

Current news/speculation is that the launch will be around 22:00 UK time.

Goody! Just before Nursey brings my tablets before bedtime.

Still some time to go before they launch, and that's if they do launch today.

I'd get a pint of medicine* and sit back.

*Not if it's whisky!

Edit: They say now about 23:20ish UK time for the SpaceX live stream to start, which is usually 6 minutes before launch (est 23:26...).

Venting. Close now.

T-2

Landed! Still a fire burning.

They said today is the 60th anniversary of Alan Shepard's first American flight into space.

There's no kaboom yet, but it's still burning.

Good show

Nominal!

It's just transpired that back in the early 50s Wernher von Braun wrote a book called Project Mars: A technical tale in which Martians are led by a council of men and who's leader was called "The Elon"

Musk read that someday.
