The rocket looks like it’s 1000% from KSP yes!! I just hope they have the Real World mods installed, and were able to build a real-world MechJeb for assistance…

Second launch attempt has about 2:35 left on the mission clock today. Launch is currently hold as it looks like another fuel leak has been identified at about the 50% fuelling level. Efforts now to identify the issue while the rocket is on the pad with fuel in it, and to take the opportunity to “wet dress rehearse” once again.
Doubtful that the Launch Hold will be lifted and today’s attempt will be officially scrubbed soon. Just in case you want to keep an eye on things:
And just minutes after posting, the Launch Director has called a scrub for today’s launch attempt. The date and time of the next attempt will be confirmed soon.
