Just curious. Considering the current level of technology, how come they did not know about the bad weather in a day or a few hours before they lifter the pilots into the rocket? Sounds suspicious

HOLY S#$T!???? Did anyone else see the 3 objects flying really fast behind the ship? Right at the beginning of video. 2 on the left flying to middle of screen and one appears on the right. Then they pass by one another?
