Engine chill has started. Don't know why this one worked!

T-8 minutes!

Stage 2 LOX loading has begun.

Dragon still has no issues. Weather is still go. T-18m30s.

Yes. Eyeballs out is the only way to place thrusters on Dragon that don't have cosine losses, otherwise they'd have to fire around the cone angle.

Propellant load!

GO for propellant load! CAA Retracted!

This is the best thing: https://twitter.com/StarTrek/status/1266781188301127681?s=20 Grr, desktop site isn't embedding.

I'm a SpaceX fan too, but Blue Origin could surprise us. They have a habit keeping an absolute lid on progress and then materialising hardware out of thin air.

Meanwhile in Boca Chica, SN4 is looking pretty! COPVs look very tidy. What's that square thing up top?

Oops.

DM-2 is forecast only 40% GO.

Estimated 64t expendable, 57.5t centre core expended side cores ASDS.

DM2 is certified for flight!

That doesn't sound likely. Effectively multiple auto-detatch operations and shifting cargo at the moment of abort. I'd be surprised. Readiness review wrapping up. Suggestion is no showstoppers.
