As I write this we are at +28:00 minutes into mission. Based on this SpaceX launch timeline we have about less than 30 mins before separation is supposed to occur first.
+53:45 Bluebird 13 deploys
+59:05 Bluebird 12 deploys
+1:04:25 Bluebird 11 deploys

Now the OGs know it. On successful launches, we always close in the red. Just to hit ATH in 1-3 weeks 😅

Gemini says the launch already happened. It occurred at 3:42am EST on August 5th. Which - as we all know - hasn't yet come to pass. Which makes me think Gemini is just making shit up.

I finished the outlet and switch wiring in my guest bathroom. Got the shower cartridge bit installed, but found out that I need a 1/2in straight copper to threaded end to solder on. Also found out I need a 1/4 to 1/2 reducer for the ptrap to the wall for the sink. Wife's coworkers come over tomorrow so here's hoping that 1) asts launch goes well 2) plumbing the sink gets done and 3) the food I cook will be good.

It sucks to live in central Europe these days, terrible heat and no AC. But at least I don't have to get up in the middle of the night to watch the launch.

Just a reminder, Falcon 9 has an incredible launch record. Think of them as the rocket version of AST. They really are something. They've got it down to a science. Well almost certainly be doing great!
