Friday at 3:38AM EDT is the next launch attempt. Watching weather on that day closely.
Due to unfavorable weather forecasted in Dragon’s splashdown areas off the coast of Florida, we are now standing down from tonight and tomorrow’s Falcon 9 launch opportunities of Polaris Dawn. Teams will continue to monitor weather for favorable launch and return conditions

UPDATE: Boeing, NASA and United Launch Alliance have made the decision to allow engineering teams to spend Tuesday, May 7, evaluating the data and the next launch opportunity will be no earlier than Friday, May 10.
Teams stand down from #Starliner’s Crew Flight Test first launch attempt. @ulalaunch with concurrence from our team and @NASA scrubbed the launch due to a valve issue on the upper stage of the Atlas V. Starliner is healthy. Learn more: https://t.co/ylGFinFqwq

Engineers have confirmed that corrupted memory aboard my twin #Voyager1 has been causing it to send unreadable data to Earth. It may take months, but our team is optimistic they can find a way for the FDS to operate normally again:

An update on my twin #Voyager1: The team recently sent a "poke" to prompt V1's flight data system (FDS) and received a signal that differed from past attempts. A DSN engineer helped decode this signal, which may contain clues to the source of the issue: https://t.co/tDWLtmu6D2
