SpaceX is saying roughly 3 PM
I don't think it's actually sunk in for me how ridiculous this landing is going to look. The part of me that loves explosions will be excited if that happens, but the landing would be just as awesome.

Correction, this is when the SpaceX broadcast will start.
Everyday Astronaut seems to think a launch is less than 10min away. Venting patterns.
yep! Here we gooooooooooo
Liftoff @ 3:04pm confirmed
Depress venting in the middle of the craft. Not a good sign.
Countdown on hold.
NASA Spaceflight stream thinking this venting isn't a great sign but not end of the world. May be trying to do some temperature regulation. Nothing official about a scrub.
"Clock paused, standby for new T-0"
Still looking like a launch try today.

Spaceflight stream reporting a small aircraft took off from Brownsville and may have gotten too close to the site. Turned sharply away. Hold was at a random point that isn't typically a checkpoint, so this is a possible reason for the hold. Reporting that the plane may not have actually violated the airspace but was close enough and on a trajectory that was concerning. This is speculation, btw.
This was a manual hold, not an automated one like yesterday, which seems to indicate a problem outside of the craft itself.
Elon trolling "Holding for 420."
LOL, not serious. Supposedly a plane took off and flew too close to the Notam zone. Held at a random time (2;06), no telling if they do go for it still/resume clock or reset to 30 or 60 minutes.

I am in my boat as close as you can get and have not seen any aircraft.
awesome
Tentative time 4:40pm

Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Approx 440pm launch per spacex

It won't be. Jet is not a show stopper and is down for Mx.
So there were rumors of a boat that got to close. The sheriff boat that has all of us in our boats stopped at the entrance to South Bay just took off into South Bay. Looks like he is looking for someone.

This has the count down clock with live video counting down to about 4:45pm. Everything looking good.
Hopefully nobody gets too close this time.

4:30 and counting!
It's flying!
This is weird!
One raptor went out. Then another one. Still flying. Still stable. Unsure if on purpose. This is nuts.
Now sliding sideways and just hovering steady. Still only one of three engines is firing.
Flame out. Now bellyflop! Here comes the landing. This is all by design.
Looked like it was going to fly apart, especially when those engines were gimbaling.

Almost had to be. Unreal if it's designed in a way to lose 2 engines on accident and remain completely (relatively) stable
So close!
not so much landing! holy smokes!
