The On Again, Off Again Ax-4 is On Again

The on again, off again Axiom Space Ax-4 mission to the ISS is back on.  Scheduled liftoff time is 2:31 AM EDT Wednesday morning (6/25).  NASA Video is set to go live at 1:40 AM.  SpaceX's own coverage goes live before that; SpaceX says, "A live webcast of this mission will begin about two hours prior to liftoff" so about 12:30 AM EDT. 

I'm hoping that after this mission - or even just after this launch - someone explains the several cancellations and reschedules.

  1. It's gone with the Schwinn!

    Another RTLS, to boot.

    1. I tend to sleep through the "zero dark thirty" launches and watch the video replay in the morning, and last night was no exception. I had a followup appointment at the surgeon this morning, which delayed watching the launch replay a bit longer.

      I'm a bit less confident in the ISS than I am in SpaceX, Falcon 9s on their second launch and brand new Dragon capsules.
