Scrub reason (from Elon's twitter): "A pressurant valve appears to be frozen, so unless it starts operating soon, no launch today"
T-2: New launch attempt in min 48h
T-8: Launch scrubbed (pressurization issue), still proceeding on some things for rehearsal
T-15: Pressurization issue on stage 1, but the countdown continues. Still one boat to remove from area
- philjohn 3y agoSaying 48 hours now.
- jordanreger 3y agoWeather is also poor for the rest of the week so I doubt launch will be within a couple days
- rippercushions 3y agoUpdate: it will be a minimum of 48 hours until they can try again. Maybe the rocket will get high on 4/20 after all. Elon is now saying there was a frozen valve, which seems fairly tractable.
- yuppiepuppie 3y agoThis would not be out of character for Elon

- TOMDM 3y agoearliest window for a new attempt is 48 hours, not tomorrow.
- chasd00 3y agoin an earlier thread i half joked going to Matamoros and paying a fisherman $50 to take you out to see the launch. just for the record, that boat in the area is not me! ;)
- fallingknife 3y agoIn terms of boats encroaching into the exclusion zone it should be fuck around and find out IMO. Crazy to cancel a huge and expensive launch just because one idiot can't follow the rules.
- ricardobeat 3y agoThat doesn’t work though - without consequences you’d have hundreds of idiots wanting to fuck around and find out, with kids on tow, because freedom.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 3y agoThen launch and issue severe fines to discourage them. Or just let them. The sea is big, it's not going to hit that many. Not everything needs to be 100% safe. We let people chase storms, or fly wingsuits (1 death per 500 jumps, according to [1]). We also have ways to deal with parents who endanger their children past what we as society consider acceptable.

- noahtallen 3y agoSpaceX would still never let it happen due to liability issues.
- ricardobeat 3y agoThanks for proving the point!
