Losing a booster is always sad. Each one of them has a unique history and character. Thankfully this doesn’t happen often, due to the robust design and vigilance of the team. We are working as hard as we can to thoroughly understand root cause and get corrective actions in place ASAP. One thing we do know though is this was purely a recovery issue and posed no threat to primary mission or public safety.

We’re just focused on recovery weather at this point. I think that is still gate to our launch.
Seems a fair amount of confidence that there is no public safety issue. But might still take time to get it written up adequately to get FAA to accept there is no public safety issue?
And we currently have 9 successful launches for August, 4 launches with scheduled dates (those often slip, of course), and one launch with a "no earlier than" August listing.
(Scheduled launches appear on both https://nextspaceflight.com/launches/agency/upcoming/1/?search= and https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/schedule/ with specific time-and-date listings. The no-earlier-than appears on the former site as "NET August", and on the latter site as scheduled for 1 minute prior to midnight UTC on August 31.)
launch pad game of chicken now resolved it appears.
Current status is 6 successful launches, 5 scheduled launch dates, and 2 launches listed as NET August. So, betting heavily against OTHER on the theory that 6 or 8 are very unlikely (failure can happen, as we saw in July, but is low-probability), and that 14 or 16+ are even less likely.
