The launch today.

[maw lod qan]

Its T-minus 3 hours. I'm sitting in a MacDonalds parking lot no more than maybe 10 miles from launch pad 39A.

I've driven 151 miles,,,

And it's doing this.

Still got 3 hours, so I'm going to start using the force!

Plenty of time for that to clear

Looks to be in doubt now from the news.

Who thought it was any kind of a good idea to put the only launche facility right in the path of all the rubbish weather coming in off the Atlantic?

Well...

I guess east coast, so that failed launches land in the drink and a southern latitude to enable launches to low inclination orbits.

Just 2 reasons for choosing Florida!!

This is actually moving all the way across the state on the Gulf "sea breeze".

I paid $20 dollars to park in a church parking lot and gave them $20 more being it's a church and am looking right out my windshield at the vehicle assembly building and 39A.

It's still drizzling.

East coast I think.

We visited the pads in late Feb on the KSC tour. This was pad 39a then:

Perhaps weather is even more critical for a manned launch in case, God forbid, search and rescue is required.

Its quickly becoming a circus here!

I've found 3 Dragon topics so far , , any more , , ? Problem is I've only got two monitors, , and the youtube sound in background !

Damp squib

At least I did find a decent spot to view a launch the next time I loose my mind! 😁

It was still better than anything on tv. Go again Saturday. Hope to see it over southern England.

151 miles? That's just round the corner in American driving terms isn't it?

[maw lod qan]

Yeah. I'm even watching the weather deciding if I'm going to try again Saturday.

I'm scheduled to work Sunday starting at 4am, but at my age, something's are, let's say, of more interest.

I planned for the GAE in 2017 for 18 months.
