This mission isn't just a test run, they're going to be deploying some cube sats as well.
Interesting stuff!

Will lift off 12:33 UTC today.
Launch has been scrubbed. 
Next launch window is 2nd September.
It is to be expected, especially the first launch of its kind. Though shame because we have perfect weather today here in Florida this morning.
It was an issue with the temperature of engine number 3. Wasn't cold enough.
Yes been watching the live news. Actually there were several issues that was the third or fourth issue that had them in a hold pattern. There was lighting 15 miles away at first, then a hydrogen leak, now the engine.
But still a shame since we have perfect weather this morning here in Florida. Been sipping coffee on my deck. Because that is unheard of during our storm season to have "perfect" weather.
Translation:“Could you launch Friday”
NASA - “There is a non-zero chance of a Friday launch.”
Hey Friendly, could you translate for us?
"Okay hey there were a few technical issues today that we couldn't sort out in time for launch, so to avoid having a challenger moment where our multi billion dollar rocket explodes we're gonna delay it until Friday 2nd September and hope we can launch then.
If we can't do Friday then we have another launch window a little bit after that."
Officially scrubbed, a cut off was announced. No launch today. Reason is Hydrogen leak.
A crew will be momentarily going in to fix the leak. They have said there is no danger though due to the hydrogen leak.
