Get ready for an early morning adventure as SpaceX is set to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida! But here's where it gets controversial... The weather forecast predicts a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms, which could potentially postpone the mission. So, make sure to set your alarms for 1:54 a.m. on Monday, and keep an eye on the sky. The Falcon 9 will deploy 29 Starlink internet satellites into low-Earth orbit, and the mission's launch window extends until 4 a.m. No sonic booms are expected in Brevard County. The rocket's first-stage booster will rise to the southeast and complete its 10th flight by landing on the SpaceX drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean. Stay tuned for live updates from the FLORIDA TODAY Space Team, starting about 90 minutes before the launch window opens. When SpaceX's live webcast begins about five minutes before liftoff, we'll post it below next to our countdown clock.

But here's the part most people miss... The Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron only forecasts a 20% chance of 'go for launch' weather, so there's a good chance the mission could be postponed. So, what do you think? Will the launch happen as scheduled, or will the weather have its way? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
