They're relatively certain there is water under the surface of Mars. They're cautiously optimistic there is water ON the surface of Mars, although some scientists call it "avalanches of sand".

This is NOT that - it's from before the static fire - but is kind of cool to see them attaching everything together.

“Launch Reschedule Notification: SpaceX Falcon Heavy has been rescheduled to Wednesday, April 10th 2019. Launch window opens at 6:36 p.m.”
SpaceX officials did not return requests for confirmation Monday morning. The highly anticipated launch, which is expected to draw 100,000 or more spectators to the region, will carry Saudi Arabia’s Arabsat-6A satellite into space. The U.S. Air Force Weather Squadron’s forecast, released this weekend, had placed the probability of a successful Tuesday launch at 30 percent because of weather. The probability of favorable weather on Wednesday was 80 percent. This will be the first flight of the vehicle with three new Block 5 boosters. |

Everything SEEMS to be on track for Falcon Heavy tomorrow! Window opens at 6:35pm EST and closes about 2 hours later. Here's hoping it goes off on time because I have a conflict starting at about 7pm EST!

Looks like they're pushing all the way to the end of the window.
That'll make it basically an instantaneous window at that point, so we'll see if they get it off. Unfortunately I won't be able to catch up until late tonight, so I hope you guys get to enjoy the show. |
