Yes. Tropical storm Bertha has made landfall in S. Carolina so I'm wondering if that could affect the weather.

NASA will probably make a decision before noon as the POTUS arrives around 2pm.

Honestly the next 10 days just looky crappy. That's Florida i guess.

Knowing SpaceX and aesthetics who thought this was a good look lol. I expected a more futuristic look not a BSDM party.

Sad it didn't happen today, but I rather be safe than sorry for our Astronauts. Can't wait for Saturday's launch. Florida weather since Friday of last week has been terrible. A few of my friends homes was literally flooded.

I still can't believe the touchscreens in the crew dragon. A 'we want it because it looks cool' decision should not be in a spacecraft. For precise control button panels are so much better. How can you correctly operate a touchscreen when something goes wrong and the whole thing is vibrating and shaking...

I use touchscreens when flying... it’s not a big deal. I’m not saying they are necessarily the best choice, but I’m not as alarmed by your concern.

Haha all the sleek looking design efforts, but it takes a whole bunch of finicky tools to open the hatch door from outside apparently.

Should have given less money to the design department and more money to whoever could make a spacecraft that can launch when the weather conditions aren't 100% perfect
