Times for those wondering.

May 27: NASA’s live broadcast on NASA TV will begin at 12:15 p.m. EDT (9:15 a.m. PDT) with liftoff scheduled for 4:33 p.m. EDT (1:33 p.m. PDT).

Weather could ground the mission, however, with about a 40% chance of inclement conditions. If that happens, NASA has set backup launch days of May 30 or May 31.

Because space-x and nasa employ LOTS of people ( and 17,000+ 6000+) and a goal is to not let areas get destroyed by loss if jobs. Just a guess
