It’s being broadcast on the nasa YouTube channel and website.?

Just under 2 hours to launch, they’re just shutting the hatch now.

Lol nasa said on their youtube 'we're going back to KFC' meaning flight control, but sounded like they were off for chicken

Slightly cloudy here but I can see the moon so am still hopeful

manitobajane · 27/05/2020 21:00

clear skies here...camera at the ready.

MrsHerculePoirot · 27/05/2020 21:02

Yes but think it will be too cloudy here sadly to see if go overhead!

cyclingmad · 27/05/2020 21:10

whats the position we should be looking towards - right of the moon? or should i use my iss detector app and follow west to east? in London here

JacobReesMogadishu · 27/05/2020 21:11

I think look south for most people if it’s tracked to go over south west of the U.K.?

And hopefully see it moving from west to east.

Well that was a let down

GreyGardens88 · 27/05/2020 21:19

I've always wondered why they decided to launch spacecraft from Florida which has the most unpredictable weather ever, rather than say the desert in Arizona

Applesandpears23 · 27/05/2020 21:20

When will they try again?

Elouera · 27/05/2020 21:20

Oh no! I've even put a bra on ready to run out to the roof terrace to see it! Grin

bluefoxmug · 27/05/2020 21:20

  1. The year that was scrubbed.
CurseryKinkajoo · 27/05/2020 21:21

I think they said 30th was next date to try but I was reading the dodgy subtitles because no one else in my family cares so I may have misread!

they need to have a safe (and large) landing zone for the rocket debris and the escape pod.

ElectricTonight · 27/05/2020 21:22

Well that was amazing 😉
