SpaceX Falcon 9 launch 2nd attempt Friday, May 11, 2018 at KSC

 

SpaceX will try again this afternoon to launch its newest version of the Falcon 9, the  "Block 5" rocket. The launch was scrubbed yesterday due to technical issues.

 

Liftoff is currently set for 4:14pm EDT at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Launch pad 39A.

 

The window extends to 6:21pm EDT and there is a 60% chance of good weather at launch time. Temperatures are currently in the 80s.

 

SpaceX  plans to land the booster on a drone ship off the coast so the rocket can be reused. The landing is expected to occur eight (8) minutes after the launch.

 

If the launch is scrubbed today for some reason, the backup launch time is tomorrow, Saturday, May 12th at 4:15pm EDT.

One of these days I am going to fly from my west coast home to Florida to witness one of those launches up close and personal.

I hope you do...everyone should see a launch up close and personal at least once in their life. It is something you will never forget!

Diana, maybe if he was not too busy digging a tunnel in LA this would have been a success already??? Just thinking out loud, Endre

Endre,

LOL! You may be right...but the second attempt was perfect and the launch was flawless.

And don't get me started on the LA tunnel...
