"Red team" doesn't actually have Red shirts. I consider this a good idea when dealing with a 2500+ ton rocket full of Rocket fuel

So far nothing is delaying launch assuming range issue is resolved

LH2 Core stage topping

Range had a bad Ethernet switch on radar. 70 minutes to complete work. Scotty needs to work those miracles to get done by launch window

Currently NO GO. countdown continues

assume there is going to be a hold at T-30 minutes or later

DELAY certain

Okay. here is where it gets interesting

T-15 minutes there will be a poll for GO/NO GO

Terminal count starts at T-10 minutes
They can get as low as T-90 seconds with a reset, anything pass that and it will be a scrub.

I got a good feeling they might actually launch this monstrosity now

going to be exciting!

No additional risk of caulk falling off and causing damage.

Red box shows darker area when RPV "Caulk" was peeled off during hurricane

still got more than an hour of wiggle room. Got a 2 hour Launch window and GODAMMIT we are going to use all of it!

@Kinnison Just as long as they don't accidentally blow up the rocket while they're testing to see if they can blow up the rocket. It doesn't need to be that exciting.
