Launch today

At the time I'm writing this, the launch is still a GO for today. Here's a link to SpaceX and live streaming. I'll add information throughout the day.

*Update - weather looks good at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, so launch time has been set for 1:30 EST this afternoon.

*Update - Elon is feeling good about it: "What I find strange about this flight is that normally I feel super stressed out the day before; this time I don't," SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said in a news teleconference yesterday (Feb. 5). "That may be a bad sign. I'm not sure. I feel quite giddy and happy, actually — I'm really hopeful for this flight going as planned."

*Update - Launch time has been changed to 3:15 EST, 2:15 CST

*Update - Falcon Heavy has launched successfully! SpaceX is celebrating their achievement.
