Got an alert that the launch has been scrubbed.

"SpaceX has scrubbed tonight's launch attempt. No further information has been released as to why. Liftoff is now targeted for 4:34 p.m. Sunday, with backup opportunities available if needed until 8:34 p.m."

Weird because I can't verify on line the message from the local weather person.

Boeing's Starliner launch tonight has been postponed "out of an abundance of caution" scarcely two hours before the historic liftoff. The scrub is reportedly due to an issue with the oxygen relief valve on the Atlas V rocket's upper stage1.

What does SpaceX have to do with it?

A new launch date has not been announced, but backup opportunities are available as soon as Tuesday (May 7) or Friday (May 10).

Starliner launch was scrubbed by trouble with a valve in the Atlas 5's Centaur upper stage, not weather. And I was just walking out the door to watch. Damn.

#11 Probably the same thing your Starlink does in the title.
