Dewey Defeats Truman?

I was awake sometime in the four a.m. hour, and I heard WTOP say that the launch might happen. I didn't hear anything more about it, but I was drifting back and forth between asleep and awake. Let's try Google news:

I get the impression that more than one launch had been planned in the last week, and that at least one of them has occurred. That launch happened on Thursday, I guess. The one scheduled for this weekend and, later, Monday, did not. That's as much as I can make out.

Interesting.

I wonder what NBC 4 was showing this morning around 4:50am?   They claimed it was a launch out of Wallops and even show it on live TV with their studio cameras zoomed in.
