50/50 chance of launch. Bad weather again.

Someday we'll be able to head into space without concern of the weather. Unless it's a hurricane. Maybe even then.

Lightning was the big problem the last time. It'll be awhile before we can ignore that.

Yup. I have some relatives in Florida for a few days and it should be an awesome introduction of SpaceX to them.

These legs look a lot less pronounced than normal. Maybe smaller for block 4.
