I've got the #NASA / #SpaceX stream open on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aymrnzianf0
#LaunchAmerica is the hashtag they are using to celebrate again having a launch on US soil.
I don't think this is really about nationalism ... it is more about getting US citizens excited, so they can push for greater funding for NASA and space exploration.

The launch has been scrubbed due to weather.

Let me continue. In my opinion, the more nations which have active and usable launch facilities and vehicles, the better it is for ISS. I would welcome launches from China, India, Brazil, and many other nations to help fully internationalize the space station.

India and Brazil sure. Not that the US has a glowing reputation on indigenous people, but can't see China doing anything more than spying on Uyghers.
