TRACKING WITH CLOSEUPS: SpaceX Starship SN9 Goes Wobbly
Uhhhh SN9.... that’s.... not how you’re supposed to be standing!! Loud bang and I’m afraid SN9’s roll out and flight is now delayed. The stand it was on appears to have shifted. Hope everyone is ok. pic.twitter.com/XALMaxPvMw

The launch window is 2020-12-11 from 16:21 to 18:20 UTC. If the Falcon 9 launches on time, it will be 15 hours, 12 minutes after the Delta IV Heavy launch last night, the shortest interval between two orbital launches from Cape Canaveral since September 1967.
