Re: Starship is Go...

It would appear that the AI could not distinguish between the Crew-10 launch of a Falcon-9 and the Flight-10 launch of a Starship/Superheavy.  Why?  Both had a "10" in the names.

Scrubbed again... this time for weather

Per report by OldFart1939

Ground side liquid oxygen leak
What caused sunday starship 10 scrub
The scrub of the Starship Flight 10 test was caused by a ground side liquid oxygen leak that needed to be fixed. This leak involved liquid oxygen escaping from ground-side infrastructure, such as the propellant loading systems, pipes, and valves that help to supply LOX to the Starship vehicle during fueling. The leak was detected during the propellant loading for Starship and the Super Heavy booster. SpaceX's CEO, Elon Musk, confirmed the leak's significance and the need for its resolution to proceed with the launch.
