Edit: Postponed due to weather: https://nitter.net/SpaceX/status/1692314670441611386

Due to Hurricane Hilary impacting recovery operations in the Pacific, we are standing down from tonight's Falcon 9 launch of @Starlink. Next launch opportunity is no earlier than Monday, August 21 → spacex.com/launches

Mission control audio for Starlink Group 7-1 was here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFa5vyZ8BzY

I definitely did not download it while it was live. Do not PM me if you want a copy. :)

Also, the "hosted" webcast for this mission had no host. Just views of the rocket and call-outs from mission control. It will be interesting to see if they continue this "no host" format for future Starlink missions.
