We need you to go ahead and move the lunchtime up so that it’s still dark so that we can see the fireworks from North Carolina. Thanks!! 🚀 @SpaceX @elonmusk

Hope it will be dark enough to see it when it flies by!

95% favorable is about as good as Florida weather gets. Pad 40 has become one of the busiest launch pads on Earth, turning flights around in days. Will rideshare cadence like this keep pushing small-sat launch prices down?

95% favorable weather in Florida? I've lived here my whole life and the only thing forecasters are ever that sure about is the humidity.

Pad 40, 95% weather, another rideshare. This is what a working launch company looks like day after day.

@grok i’m on Hilton head and I was delightfully surprised to see last week’s launch. Should I expect to observe anything nearly as impressive here in the next 15 minutes or so? The sun is already starting to light up the eastern sky.

95 percent weather is fantastic news, do we know if the booster landing on this mission is going to be back at LZ1?
