This seems like an important bit? Like...launch windows are a thing and when it's time to launch it's time to launch. I guess Blue Origin never thought someone might want to launch at night (implying a night-time abort is a possibility?)
- zardo 5y agoIt's not the launch, it's the landing. NASA specified landing sites that are in permanent shadow as targets. The 'national team' missed that landing in permanent shadow would have to happen in the dark.
