Does anyone have a capability to back up that portion of the stream if something like that happens?

They won't be able to delete it. NASA is streaming and recording too and it's almost certainly going to be broadcast live on news networks.

From what I've seen elsewhere, they are pretty confidant the weather will be good come launch time.

This is pretty exciting. I remember one time in middle school (or elementary school, idk it was long ago) the class I was in took a break to go to the cafeteria to watch a spaceship launch live on tv. I was hyped then as I am now.

Fuck Elon Musk, obligatory, but this is pretty based, remember getting excited for shuttle launches (Challenger included 
) as a kid,feeling a bit of the same. Not gonna lie the new space suits (custom tailored to astronauts unlike the old orange ones) look spiffy as fuck as does the interior of the pod.

we all know they're scrubbing the launch right? there was this old comedy central sketch just mocking NASA for always scrubbing launches. somehow we're still so fucking archaic that a gust of wind or some clouds or butterflies fuck up our launches.
Space is a waste of time and money, the last time NASA gave a shit about space exploration the nazis were still in power. Not a single cent in decades of increased funding has been spent on actually cool space bullshit, instead it always gets spent on satellites or global warming research.
space is a dead end, the cost will never get down enough. you need a massive amount of government subsidies and people throwing trillions in dollars away for it be to be economically feasible. Like a rocket launch a day for it to work as a good investment, right now we're at two rockets a week or some shit like that. Mostly all satellites.

NASA did not exist back then, what are you talking about?
Anyway, I think it's still 60% chance in favour of scrub.

My heart goes out to all the victims of this horrible tragedy, and of course their families. America has for the third time lost brave pioneers in space, and this time perhaps for the last time. I don't think there's going to be much appetite for a moon landing attempt after this.
