Where are you all watching this?
Ahah, I was wondering where everyone was getting live updates. I was watching the wrong NASA live. Here's the one with just launch updates:
Looks like the latest issue yet to be fixed is a faulty ethernet switch required for a radar sensor in the rocket's range.
(The range is simply the area the rocket launches on and over)

Ethernet switch has been replaced. Now it just needs tested.
This switch is impt bc it's used for one of the radar sensors in the flight termination system (the system that shoots down the rocket if anything were to go awry and it needed to be shot down to protect the public)

Waiting verification of the testing of this system and still some work to do to configure rocket for launch - launch no earlier than 1:45am ET.
GO TO RESUME LAUNCH. Getting a new T-0 time....
