Motokid600 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) I plan to take off from work if need be as well. I hope launch is late afternoon so I wont have to. But then what if it scubs? Oh well... What can you do? I dont see a launch happening on the 10th. I hope I'm wrong of course, but there will be a scrub. I foresee an abort at ignition. Getting all 33 Raptors to show green will not happen on the first attempt. So.. Do I take off on a backup day instead? Its a test launch so if it could not be before 4pm that'd be great. Edit : Actually about 30min after sunset would be mind blowing. Edited April 5, 2023 by Motokid600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gargamel Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 My interpretation of the launch window is primary target is the 10th, and pretty much everyday after until Christmas is the backup date. https://www.fly.faa.gov/adv/adv_spt.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrandedonEarth Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 And here I thought they just wanted to minimize the hordes that will descend on the Boca Chica area, that it’s probably not equipped to handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 As much as I want to see this fly, I might have to give the first flight a miss. This timing means going alone, which makes it substantially less fun as a road trip. With advanced notice of a date so that I could fly, it'd be much more painless. Fly, stay at hotel, watch launch, fly home. Way better than 15-30 hours driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
