I’ll be surprised if it still launches today.
Not confirmed yet, issue with bleeding engine 3.Cancelled now
EDIT - mentioned in Stream, nothing offocial yet, maybe I'm wrong.
Launch window between 13:33 and 15:33. But as others has said, may not happen today.
So excited for this, and also so glad that humans are planning again to go to the moon etc.
For me to have it in my lifetime and for my kids, It's a great experience I think. I was 7 when apollo 13 came out at the movies and it has remained alongside interstellar as two of my favourite movies. To be able to track things like this on youtube these days is a gift!

NOt to mention that NASA only streams in 720p for some reason.
Shock as rocket science actually is difficult

Yep, and due to it being NASA it's 10x more difficult than it actually should be.

Yes, because no other rocket company has ever had to scrub a launch due to technical issues with some of the most complicated machines ever built.
Artemis, more like Alien Appeasement program. They have been on the far side of the moon buildings their bases for years, they already interfered with Armstong and Aldrin's crafts and that's why we didn't go back. There are some vital minerals on the moon which we need since we're farming too much over here, this is clearly some of kind of bridge-building exercise between species. Why do you think there are so many references to 'friendly' aliens in advertisements these days, Samsung, Air BnB etc. The reveal is coming and things like this are just the start.

You're right, but NASA, by the very nature of how they're funded, make things way more complicated than they should be. Like for instance, they have to have thousands of individual parts made by hundreds of different companies that are scattered all over the continental United States and then all those parts are shipped to the VAB to be put together.

Parts fail - doesn't matter who they're made by. Guaranteed the same thing will happen with Starship, it won't launch on it's first attempt for some technical reason because space is hard. And that's ok.
