Gonna Be Exciting (V6), SN15 on the pad!!!!

[glhs837]

Well, its been on the pad for a while now while various other things happened. But the static fires (one for main tanks, one for the headers, which are said to have gone back to autogenous pressure. This should mean no issues with low pressure during the flip n' land move. Flight Termination System, the cause of SN11s demise, we think, has been installed. Weather still iffy, planned launch is from 12 til 8pm, I think. Nerdle Cams pretty quiet now, only 5am....

During lead up, then I'll switch to SpaceX once it goes live. I just like these guys a litter better than NasaSpaceflight. A bit more relaxed, not shilling so hard.

I wonder if they tried streaming via that Starlink antenna embedded in the side.
