Yalls' commitment to keep us informed and entertained is second to none !!! Thanks for everything @NASASpaceflight !!!

[@tres909]

Got home from work all excited to see a launch. Then 50 minutes in SCRUB! Y'all forgot to change the title to reflect this. 😔

[@paulveitch]

My title says scrub.

[@tres909]

@paulveitch Yeah, mine does now also. Someone must have just changed it. I was watching on TV and following the chat on my phone, and neither one said it earlier. Oh well, I'll catch the launch when it's rescheduled.

HOLD, HOLD, HOLD! AH darn someone said the "S" word again! Well tommarow AGAIN!!! Thanks for the coverage NSF!

Great coverage! Always worth watching

Welcome back falcon family 🚀🤘🏽

[@nadennight]

You would think those boosters would be cleaner with all the scrubbing they get.

[@Ron4885]

Right. 😉

I saw it in the sky and thought we were being attacked. Aside from the scare, it was beautiful to see. Thanks for the footage and putting my nerves at ease 😆.

[@Owen_XD]

Bro I’m in mission viejo CA and I think I just saw iy

[@MConleyAZ]

Why is the streaming video of the FL site? When will you switch to a CA live view?

[@NASASpaceflight]

We stream launches we have cameras at the launch. There is no press access to Vandenberg. We don't take the weak approach of just resteaming SpaceX and talking over it as an entire webcast of our "own".

Scrub.

[@Pero-ye7ql]

I don’t think they will achieve their goals

[@IbnBahtuta]

And you still think point to point is going to happen. rofl

[@bofh85]

Why because one scrub because of stormy weather? Really? You would have launched with that conditions? Sure, go ahead, we put you in a dragon capsule, tank the falcon up and than you decide if you want to be shooted in this conditions. Have fun 😅

[@IbnBahtuta]

@@bofh85 You completely missed my point. Point to point, please focus and perhaps you will be able to join the dots between weather scrubs and anywhere on Earth in 60 minutes.

[@bofh85]

@@IbnBahtuta I get what you ment but you are the one going around and saying because they did a weather scrub and have the first falcon 9 scrub in many months with 1-2 successful starts every week, that this one single scrub now would be the proof that it would be impossible for them to reach the goal of point by point. So.. Maybe you should think again what you are implying with this.

[@bofh85]

@@IbnBahtuta and you know I got what you ment at the first time because I suggested we put you in a dragon capsule in stormy launch conditions and than ask yourself if you wouldn't beg for a scrub than
