I had a weird experience watching this whole thing. My mate had it on and I kept feeling “No! This is not supposed to be happening!” Over and over I had that inner feel. Then when it was suddenly announced the flight had been “scrubbed” – due to weather – I lit up. That strange feeling within left.
And yet – scrubbed due to weather? 20 minutes prior to liftoff? That weather pattern had been there for quite some time. This decision feels off to me. Something else is up.
So I turn to my fellow puzzle solving people on Twitter and found what is at least similar questions:
Timelines change?
Whyd they wait until t-20.00mins?That black cloud was lingering all day, maybe remaining hopeful, idk,
And why do they launch rockets straight up?
It just seems like an inclined launch pad or steeply angled ramp would reduce so much drag, but idk

Just saw they rescheduled to 3:22
Just a coincidence though, I bet— Woody (@WQQDY_Wilson) May 27, 2020
It was T-17 to be more specific,

Then there is this pinned Tweet from Elon Musk from a few days ago:

Then there is some artwork he tweeted from Space X twitter account:
