    SpaceX launching 3day Inspiration4 tonight, 5hr launch window opens at 8:02pm EDT - 12:02 UTC:

    SpaceX's Inspiration4 mission is ready to launch to Earth orbit on Wednesday (Sept. 15), and you can watch the historic liftoff live.

    The launch webcast will start on SpaceX's YouTube channel Wednesday at 3:45 p.m. EDT (1945 GMT) and will also stream here at Space.com, courtesy of SpaceX. The five-hour launch window at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida opens at 8:02 p.m. EDT (0002 GMT on Thursday, Sept. 16).

    It might be available on NASA Live being the launch is from pad 39a but definitely here:



    Video will start coverage at 3:45pm EDT for now it's on a static countdown to that 3:45 time.

    Space.com page for Inspiration4 there's a lot of links for the mission from there including my quote source.

    It is probably me, but I also read the article and I find it VERY confusing as to what is happening when and the 5 hour launch window. It does NOT seem to tie up and make sense!

    Yea, they don't make it easy to cipher, It's kinda like a football pregame show, all times are EDT. The way I see it:

    At 3:45pm the SpaceX video will start and have pre-launch information from all angles of the Inspiration4 launch a "a who, what, when, and where" disco on the team, the mission, times for launch and duration of the mission, and where the launch occurs and splashdown.

    There will be coverage of the launch and some post-launch banter.

    The "5hour window" for the launch starts at 8:02pm (the earliest they can launch) and lasts until 1:02am (the latest). My Thurs. morning.

    B/c of the mission's objectives and; Kepler's along with Newton's Laws of Planetary Motion the launch can not happen any earlier than 8:02pm and no later than 1:02am my Thurs.

    IMO it is a fancier version of the Branson/Bezos flights. An all civilian crew, in an autonomous craft, flying higher than the ISS, 6,7x's higher than Branson/Bezos and all for charity (St. Judes Hospital) Well.. Mostly all, I'll bet there's some overhead that has to be paid for. Look up in the menu you'll see St. Judes there.
