Looks like about 7:34 am my time tomorrow!   Might have to do my morning walk a little earlier!  Better not be any big badda-booms! 🚀

Certainly hope not, Charlie. Crew onboard.

Link only, not the video itself. Supposed to go live at 3:30 PM Pacific Time tomorrow (May 6 Monday).

(11:30 PM London time, all good Englishmen will be in bed by then, he he).

I see they are changing the time on me!   Wait a minute......Launch??  I thought it was lunch!  What happened to my free lunch?  🥪 🍺 🍟

The worst choice in the face of challenges or skepticism is to not try. Boeing is trying and I pray they get some good luck now for a change.😇

I had assumed that this was another Falcon 9 launch, but it seems to be an Atlas V. This is presumably the first manned mission with that rocket?

ULA Atlas 5. 

 

Atlas has a heritage that goes back 50 years, of course.

Scrubbed. Stuck valve on rocket.

Boeing Starliner Launch Halted Because of 'Buzzing' Rocket

Looks like another delay!  Maybe by May 21st!  Delay, delay, delay!  Sounding like a familiar theme! 😲
