So I can see it, but it looks tiny out there.
I mean, in reality, it's 322 feet tall, but it's this, you know, orange and white rocket.
And from where I am, I can see it along with the big countdown clock, you know, which is under this American flag.
And you've got all the press trucks set up everywhere.
And, you know, it's a big to-do.

So the earliest is 6.24 p.m.
Eastern Time on Wednesday, April 1st, but it could be delayed by anything.
There could be weather rolling in, there could be technical glitches, like maybe a hydrogen leak, and if they have to delay, it depends on what the nature of the problem is, but it takes like
24 to 48 hours to get things reset up so they can try again.
But they think over the next week, they're going to have several launch opportunities.
So people are feeling pretty good that we could see this go.
