It just keeps going; from almost a dozen Trackmania accounts, to forum posts, to YouTube comments. A lot to follow to keep it all straight. I feel like I need a spreadsheet to watch this video.

Or at least some lights. I think I recall someone saying they would be deployed during orbital night, so hopefully they’ll be visible somehow.

Holding at T-0:00:40

Impression seems to be that they’ve cleared the issue and are proceeding towards launch.

Exciting!

Update: hold in the count apparently.

Excited to see mock Starlink deployment, hopefully.

Some of these games get quite long, so still haven’t gotten back through the 1-3 remasters yet, but happy that these are out now too. For whenever I can get to them.

I hope so!

Run energy changes sound like a good idea. IIRC this is already similar to how RS3 does it; Iwonder when it changed there. Though weight feels like it has no impact in RS3, so that’s probably a good way to balance it.

I think this is the correct link for the SpaceX official feed on X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1LyxBnOvzvOxN

Looks like it’s scheduled to start at 6:56 CDT now that launch is targeting 7:30 AM CDT.

Looks like some sort of fuelling is underway. Or at least chilling lines in the OLM and tower in preparation for filling.
