Unconfirmed reports of a ship that wandered into the keep out zone.

The launch is not yet scrubbed, they're gonna monitor the situation for the next 90 minutes of the launch window and see if they can still go

New launch time 7:19 7:21 pm EST

Seems that the range is not clear, but they believe that 7:21pm is the last opportunity of the launch window, so they're speculatively running the launch and hoping that the range clears shortly.

Sometimes the technology we now have easy access to blows my mind. Here we are watching a live stream in 1080P on our computers and/or tablets of some guy about to launch a satellite into GTO.

Cool time to be alive!!!

The previous occasion they were explaining upgrades including strong clamps and the ability to abort after ignition.

Officially scrubbed.

Debugging this may take substantially longer, as it was some issue after the engines fired. Still hope for tomorrow though.

Edit: Apparently the range violation was around the offshore landing platform 600km off the coast. Damn ship...
