"The hosted payload consisting of 49 Russian satellites, a Russian-Chinese satellite, a Russian-Zimbabwean satellite and two Iranian small satellites was delivered into the designated orbits and separated from the Fregat booster that was launched by a Soyuz-2.1b rocket from the Vostochny spaceport today," Roscosmos said in a statement.


SpaceX is gearing up for the sixth test flight of its Starship megarocket, which is now less than a week away.
Elon Musk's company has rolled the sixth Starship vehicle's 165-foot-tall (50-meter-tall) upper stage out to the launch pad at its Starbase site in South Texas for testing ahead of the planned Nov. 18 liftoff.

Reading the chat and pinned comment, it's something about frost

The chemicals in Falcon 9 that are used to activate the rocket are kept below freezing. The vessel is much like liquid propellant ICBMs from the 60s. You can put off any mission right up until you start fueling and priming the rocket. At which point it becomes use it or lose it.

Since there is no frost on the Rocket, the activation chemicals have not been added to the system yet.

Launching more sattelites to support the death ray that Elon will use to permanently deplatform der sneeder from life itself. Shoulda paid for that checkmark, Jersh! Then you wouldn't be having any of these problems, but now you gotta die. Sad!
 
Launch pushed back again. T-1.00

Still not canceled.

Launch window closes at 0205 local.

Weather is clear. Delay is a potential mechanical fault that the ground crew are tracing.
