So what happened today?

 

[FrustratedUser]

Damnit! Postponed again.

 

[alien42]

new launch time is 1:08 today and everything looks good to go. the only possible weather issue is low clouds but that is not likely to further delay the launch.

1 minute in the hold before coundown at T-4 minutes.

Then they said:
No-go because of clouds yet.

Looks like a new T-0 will be decided on shortly.
Insanely powerful rocket - and it has trouble with clouds.

1:25 launchtime now.

 

[Horus]

1830Zulu launch time now. Damnit.
