Here’s to the future and beyond.!
Is this a legit launch? I was looking at the Kennedy Space Center events and this one isn’t posted there. I just want to make sure it’s really happening. Don’t want to drive all the way there to find out it’s nothing big.
The status is TBD and the date is likely to change until the status shows “Go For Launch”. Check back about a week before the launch for updates.
