October has been terrible for launches. People have been making fun with first class puns, like "Scrubtober" or "ScrubX". There are some good news: the last Starlink launch is paving the way to a public beta test - as long as you live in northernly latitudes.

Small disturbances can lead to postponed launches. Making sure everything is just right is way cheaper than risking big fireworks.
