SCE-to-AUX has been replaced by CTRL-ALT-DEL.

When will they make the decision if the weather will scrub the launch?

Depends on if the Wx delays propellant loading/pressurization (i.e., lightning).  If it's "just" rain in the area, they may wait until the last handful of minutes to see if they get lucky and it clears.  But lightning is so unpredictable as to be an early NO GO call.  

They're getting ready to make that first call now.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

... and "GO" for propellant loading/pressurization.

Weather doesn’t look too bad from the cameras around the tower

[Captainant 27625]

Running a little ahead of schedule on their timeline. Crew access arm retracted, getting gassed up, and arming launch escape system

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Wx is still pretty damned dodgy.

[heso 2785]

Dude closer to the camera has tightened his harness straps many times.

[Captainant 27625]

I meant does he have a NASA feed that we dont. Are we on vox?

[Telegraph_it 3357]

[MrPhlegm 3413]

more lightning south of the pad. i seed it

[heso 2785]

So I assume that since the launch time is so specific at 4:33 there is no chance of waiting a bit to see if the weather clears up?

How’s the weather looking down there today?

[Captainant 27625]

NASA/SpaceX coverage starts at 10

Edit: the Space Force (lolz) gave a 50% launch chance with slightly more favorable conditions than Wednesday, due to tropical storm Bertha. Bertha, don't you come around here anymore
