Looking forward to seeing the flight path of a single booster configuration but also the aniticipation of its return in 7 years!

Atlas V scrubbed "Very small ground side LH2 leak. Forming an ice ball on the umbilical. Outside our history. Standing down attempt today to resolve."

Edit to add "Liftoff is tentatively rescheduled for Saturday at 11:30 a.m. local time (2:30 p.m. EDT; 1830 GMT/19:30 BST ). Weather forecasters predict a 90 percent chance of favorable conditions."
