SpaceX is making another launch attempt of Starship SN8 this afternoon. Current guess for a launch time is around 4pm est. Maybe a little earlier but probably 30-45 minutes later.

Abort due to a plane violating the range restrictions. Awaiting a new T-0. The launch window is open for another ~2 hours

I was entertained. Honestly the best possible result if you were watching and not paying for SN8
