SpaceX and other space stuff

It looks as if the Starship launch we were expecting today has been bumped to Wednesday.
Thus sayeth SpaceX:
The seventh flight test of Starship is preparing to launch as soon as Wednesday, January 15.
A live webcast of the flight test will begin about 35 minutes before liftoff.... The launch window will open at 4:00 p.m. CT. As is the case with all developmental testing, the schedule is dynamic and likely to change, so be sure to check in here and stay tuned to our X account for updates.

Well, that's far more reasonable! I might hang out a while longer for that one then.
...or more accurately, just come back to the desk after dinner.
Thanks for the heads-up!

Our next launch attempt is no earlier than Tuesday, January 14. Our three-hour launch window remains the same, opening at 1 a.m. EST (0600 UTC). Tonight’s poor weather forecast at LC-36 could result in missing this window. This morning’s scrub was due to ice forming in a purge line on an auxiliary power unit that powers some of our hydraulic systems.

Kinda like an Amazon delivery that can't seem to make it on time...
Just chuck it in a neighbours garden, and put "Delivered - handed to resident" in the delivery status.
Could be a busy week.

Stayed up for it, got sidetracked working on a bass, missed the actual launch, but New Glenn is up and out! Starship has competition!!??!!
Congrats to Blue Origin! Interested to see what happened to the booster. Pretty successful first try!
