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
***
Update: violation of "anvil" rule ... this dates back to Apollo 12 ... a cloud/storm that can produce lightning is the concern.
The rule (as reported by Google) is to keep 10 miles distance from a cloud or storm that might strike the rocket.

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.

Third time's the charm, apparently!
At 27 minutes into the flight, 8 Starlink satellites were deployed.
37 minutes from now will be the attempt for splash down.
At 55 minutes into the flight, the Indian Ocean is visible below ...
Altitude is 62 km and velocity is approaching 20000 km/h
At 58 minutes into the flight, the ship is standing almost vertically as it advances ...
There is some burn through on the fins at the base.
Test of flaps at 1 hour mark ...
G force is listed as 2.2
altitude is 37 km and velocity 4700 km/h at 1:01
G-force is down to 1.4
Heating is reduced ... the fins are no longer glowing
Attitude is inclining slighty top forward ...
1500 km/h and 25 km altutude at 1:03
Preparing for landing burn ...
Speed is subsonic and altitude under 15 im at 1:04
The fins have some ragged edges flapping in the breeze
The flip is predicted ... flip at .3 km
