Town hall regarding the Psyche Review Board:

Janus has been cancelled for now
QUOTE After considering the opportunities and requirements for alternative missions using the twin spacecraft, and the expected resources available to planetary science in the next few years, NASA has decided to stand down further work on the Janus mission. The project will complete the contracted work remaining on the two spacecraft and then prepare them for storage in the event that future funding may enable an opportunity to utilize the spacecraft. Both spacecraft will be put into storage for a future opportunity...

Well, I was there on October 5th. Took a picture of the empty pad 39A from the LC 39 observation tower (the Falcon Heavy was moved back after the static fire) around the time that the launch was originally scheduled to lift off. Better luck to you tomorrow, although based on weather forecasts I'm expecting delays to the weekend.
