L-7 days Only one week until launch. People ask me, “Are you excited?” No, not at all. I slept through the entire weekend. If there was ever a moment when I truly felt excited, it might have been in May 2023, when I was in Miami, first presenting Fram2 to SpaceX, and by chance heard someone singing Fly Me to the Moon in the lobby of the Ritz-Carlton, South Beach. That was the moment I truly felt: it might actually work out this time, and I might actually get to fly to space. Now, everything needs to be done has been done. From here on, it’s just following the procedures. Excited doesn’t belong to me anymore. Since childhood, I’ve known what the first cosmic velocity is, what weightlessness is like — at least in theory. What comes next is simple: don’t trust. verify. After reassessing the weather patterns in the Pacific recovery zones, we’ve made a slight adjustment to the launch schedule. A new launch window has been added, making the NET time at 21:47 EDT. There will be four launch opportunities that night. Tomorrow, we’ll fly to Florida, where we’ll begin our quarantine life.
