Looks like they're worried about wind shear and are waiting it out.

Though reports are saying that its for more favorable winds and not anything mechanical.

Now 2:50pm Eastern. I'm obviously not trying to keep up with OP updates FYI.

Now 3:05 EST. Looking like it could get scrubbed by the wind forecasts.

Window is open until 4:00.

Man...it'll be disappointing if we get scrubbed for weather, of all things. I expected some weird thing to go wrong in the process, but weather was looking good for today.

aturnis 02-06-2018 12:47 PM

Yeah. I'm personally worried about the fuel load. Simultaneously loading multiple tanks has to up the difficulty quite a bit.

Launch auto-sequence initiated (aka the holy mouse-click) for 3:45 liftoff #FalconHeavy

Looks like the wind has died down enough...

DaFace 02-06-2018 01:27 PM

Prop load is starting, so they're at least gonna TRY and get it off today at 3:45pm Eastern.

I've heard that PBS may be covering it, but I can't say for sure. Your best bet is at the link in the OP.
