Good morning from the Cape, where a Falcon 9 rocket + 15th Starlink are on target for liftoff at 1131 ET. As expected in the 45th's forecast, it's cloudy out here, but weather appears to be green for now.

T-minus 35 minutes. Filling of the Falcon 9 rocket with super-chilled, densified kerosene and liquid oxygen is underway at Cape Canaveral. This will mark SpaceX's 19th launch of the year, and the 96th flight of a Falcon 9 rocket since June 2010.

The liquid oxygen flowing into the first stage is chilled to near minus 340 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 206 degrees Celsius).

Propellant loading begins with pumping RP-1 kerosene into both stages of the Falcon 9 rocket, and liquid oxygen into the first stage. Liquid oxygen begins loading into the second stage at T-minus 16 minutes.

With an isolated rain shower going over the press area,  here's what the big T-20 minute vent looks like from Port Canaveral. Over 10 miles away!

T-minus 16 minutes. The Falcon 9's second stage is now being filled with super-cold liquid oxygen. This is the final propellant tank to be loaded during the countdown.
