SpaceX Scrubs In The Last Minute, Disappointing Spectators

It was hotter than a dog’s mouth this morning for spectators waiting in vain to watch today’s planned rocket launch. Scheduled to liftoff at 10:59 AM EDT, at 46 seconds, SpaceX called off the launch of Falcon 9 and the Starlink 10-7 mission from Launch Complex 39-A at Kennedy Space Center.

No official reason for the scrub was announced by the company.

Spectators gathered at the stop point on Playalinda Beach. This photo was made with about a minute left on the countdown. The launch scrubbed seconds later.

SpaceX is now targeting liftoff no earlier than 06:37 AM EDT (1037 UTC) on Monday, August 12th.
