We're pulling for both those missions here at IM-3! The more companies prove out reliable transport to the moon, the more willing investors and customers want their money going to the moon as well!

I'm interested in bringing my boat down to watch a launch one day…

Does anyone know:
  • Where is the best boat ramp to launch?
  • Where is the best place to anchor and view?
  • Is the boat traffic crowded?

Dunno but here was the exclusion zone for last March

First of all, there may not be room to park your rig at any of the public boat ramps after early morning day of launch.

If you have a friend at Laguna Vista with access to their ramp you should take advantage of that

If you get all that done, anywhere south of the causeway or in the ship channel will be great viewing

I turned on one of the spaceX cameras at Boca Chica at 4pm and couldn't see the launch pad.

Turned it off without a second thought.

New Glenn is fully fueled and is trying to launch again in about an hour or so. Fingers crossed for the weather.

For commentary from the science dorks:

Looks like the delay is due to engine chilling issue. They are giving more time to chill the engines.

You'd think they'd have been watching that during all the other delays...

They need better sat links on the onboard cameras.

Why is stage 2 elevation dropping? Trajectory off? Or telemetry?

They said they lost the booster. Not bad for the first launch though

They had momentary video of the booster relight, but it froze and the telemetry froze at the same time. So probably RUD'd early in the burn.

That's what I thought. I guess they must have confirmed it though. Flipping back and forth I caught them saying they didn't know what was going on with it.

Not bad. I mean it got to orbit, and that's what they wanted. Wonder how long it'll take for them to get another first stage together.

The "bumps were fisted" comment on the stream will be remembered forever.
