Hoping they get this done in time for a Sat launch. Hearing the weather forecast doesn't look good for next week and then they're bumping into the days surrounding Thanksgiving were are supposedly off limits for launches.

Meanwhile, at KSC....fire department rolling down the crawlerway and 39A's FSS (Fixed Service Structure) is going rather bonkies with the LEDs. Never seen it acting like a Christmas tree before.

NSF replaced Danger Van (the one that got taken out by a chunk of concrete) with Danger Trailer.
See if it survives

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
