#SpaceX is going for a record launch doubleheader this afternoon on the #SpaceCoast.
Launch #1 at 5:12 PM EDT, a SES commercial satellite on a Falcon 9, from Pad 40 at the Cape.
Launch #2 at 7:29 PM EDT, a ViaSat-3 commercial satellite on a #FalconHeavy, from Pad 39A at #KSC.
Both have a low chance of launching due to predicted bad weather, but you never know.
From #FloridaToday on Twitter:
"#SpaceX is pushing launch by another additional 30 minutes.
New T-zero: 6:12 p.m. ET"
The webcast for the first #SpaceX launch tonight has begun. Still targeting 6:12 PM EDT.
Amateur video with my smartphone of the first of two #SpaceX launches tonight from the Cape. Mostly clouded out.
The second launch is targeting 7:29 PM EDT. It's #FalconHeavy, so must-see if the weather gods permit.

This should be playing on the #SpaceX webcast between tonight's two #SpaceCoast launches.
#SpaceCoast New launch time for #SpaceX #FalconHeavy targeting 8:26 PM EDT from #NASA #KSC Pad 39A.
Here's the webcast link for the #SpaceX #FalconHeavy launch targeting 8:26 PM EDT from #NASA #KSC. Must see TV!
The #SpaceX #FalconHeavy countdown went into a hold at T-59 seconds. Waiting to hear if they'll attempt again tonight or if it's scrubbed for the night. The weather forecast for tomorrow is not good.
