  1. Predicted weather at T-0 to be no go, inside of 3 minutes...This is a first for me!
  2. Clock reset to T-4 minutes.....
  3. Safing in progress.....Something has gone wrong....
  4. All systems go.....Let's do it!
  5. 13:49 launch
  6. Ship has cleared the range....Trying to pick up to make it before weather goes down. 13:45 EDT maybe
  7. 9:54 EDT maybe.
  8. Latest- Comm established with freighter, maybe he can clear more quickly.
  9. By then, weather will probably be No Go.
  10. Ship in the range area....No Go for launch for 90 minutes.
  11. 9:44 EDT
  12. Ok, let's light the rocket!
  13. Cover is off of the probe, but the line is stuck.....Don't pull that rocket over!
  14. Looks like they're going to drag this out through the four hour launch window (my guess).
  15. The Russians would be laughing about this!
  16. Ares 1x: Weather doesn't get much better than this! Triboelectrification is the issue. Who knew?
