FH liftoff in ~80 minutes!
Hello All,
There is another countdown today (which, unlike Beresheet's attempted landing on the Moon, will hopefully have a successful conclusion!)--the live coverage of today's Falcon Heavy-Arabsat 6A launch is proceeding, with liftoff scheduled to occur in about 80 minutes (at 6:35 PM EDT), see: https://spaceflightnow.com/2019/04/...unch-wednesday/ . The video coverage hasn't begun yet, but text updates are already appearing--fueling of the Falcon Heavy with super-chilled LOX and RP-1 kerosene will begin in about 40 minutes.
