Watch live coverage of SpaceX's crewed flight for NASA here:
Pretty fun that John Insprucker is the only man on the webcast so far. :)
Weather so far is go, and they're proceeding to launch. Sounds like the weather folks are optimistic that the launch could happen today.
Lunches for the astronauts were...
Mike Hopkins: Steak, fries and rice
Shannon Walker: Burger, sweet potato fries and salad
Victor Glover: Lamb chops, mashed sweet potatoes and salad
Soichi Noguchi: Curry rice, panko-crusted chicken thigh and curly fries

I think we all know that launch nerves would keep me from eating, like, anything at all if I were about to strap myself to a rocket heading into space.
SpaceX's Gwynne Shotwell and NASA's Jim Bridenstine saying some words to the astronauts before they head to the pad.
Elon Musk, who may be quarantining due to a positive COVID test, is notably absent.
The astronauts are getting ready to walk out and say their goodbyes to family before heading to the launch pad in their fleet of Teslas.
Here they come!
Waving at their families from a distance. This part always gets me a little teary.
Corporate synergy at its finest. The astronauts are loading into their Teslas for the 20-minute ride to the pad.
A sampling of the songs on the two playlists going in the Teslas right now:
Jump by Van Halen
Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz
In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins
Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars
Into it.

Shannon getting a little assist to sign the wall of the white room ahead of flight. Tradition!
Soichi saying hey!
I'm officially on zero-G indicator watch now that they're getting into the capsule!
Oop launch nerves...
Hello.
Hello.
Please reveal the soft and cuddle stuffy that will tell you when you're in zero-G so that I may buy it for my child thank you.
Mike Hopkins says that "Dragon is go for launch."
15 minutes to launch! Ack!
T-10 minutes and the cat has come to sit on top of me because he can tell how anxious I am.
3 minutes to go. I think they're going to light this candle!
Less than a minute to go. Go for launch!
There it goes!!
