Rocket launches can be delayed due to the weather, as well as if a problem arises or is detected at the last minute. For launches from the East coast of America, NASA and the US Air Force work together to control the airspace into which the rocket will launch, known as 'the Range'. The Range can sometimes be unavailable or unmanned, in which case rockets cannot launch.

Starlink 9 - Falcon 9 - Friday August 7th
SpaceX will attempt to launch the tenth set of around sixty satellites for their Starlink broadband network, which they will use to provide internet access to everywhere in the world - including remote areas currently without internet and for places such as on board aircraft and vessels at sea. Also sharing the ride to space are two Earth-observation satellites for BlackSky Global . The first stage booster which will send the payload and second stage to space will be landing back on Earth approximately 8 minutes after launching, which will be streamed live as well as the launch.
The launch is currently scheduled for Friday, August 7th at 05:12 UTC (06:12BST).
The launch can be viewed live 15 to 20 minutes before life-off here: SpaceX YouTube Channel
