Launch re-scheduled for tomorrow (Patreon)
Content
Thanks so much for pledging your support for the broken-record space program...
Everything with Scout is fine, launchpad works great, AVA is healthy, but now the onboard cameras are upset. After plenty of clean ground testing with them, they have decided that TODAY IS THE DAY they will be mad about the SD card read/write speeds. There isn't enough time today to fix the problem while also getting to the launch site on time, and I'm getting that go-fever gut feeling, so we're officially going tomorrow.
Truly, thank you for your patience with all of this. I swear I'm not trying to keep rescheduling, but when problems show up, I have to push back. This rocket is too expensive to fly with known issues, and the whole goal of re-approaching the landing problem was to see if we can stick it every time. Being picky about when we launch is part of that, I'm afraid.
Thank you again, and please pray to Goddard tonight for good luck. I am willing to try anything to avoid more delays at this point.
