Don't know how they can "fix" anything on the pad on the second stage motor in 23 hours.
Perhaps it's a sensor problem that they can somehow confirm and choose to ignore.
My guess is the rocket is going back to the barn.
Well.... I guess I'll set my alarm and have my iPad at my bedside with a headset already plugged in. 6:30 on Sunday morning is rather earlier than I usually get up .

A little CA. A spritz of accelerator. Boom. Done. Ready to fly.
Anyone having an issue with the tech webcast? Doesn't seem to be getting the usual feed

Any idea what that object was that passed the booster at 6:31 - just before the reentry burn?
The ball looking object? I wonder too.
There were actually two objects, one smaller and a larger one that was a bit chunky. To me they looked like they originated off the aft end of the rocket and kind of reminded me of the chunks of ice that form around the plumbing.
….. The object i am curious about was the one passed by the booster at t+ 6:30 - 6:32. This object was first seen well below the booster, so it wasn't something like ice that was just coming off the booster. It was there in space before the booster got there.
Looked to me like the the second stage had a leak the whole time it was firing. Looked like it was coming out from under the insulation with ice forming / collecting nearby. I don't recall seeing that in previous flights. Also at seco the insulation puffs up momentarily, definitely something venting lots of gas at that point.
