The weather actually isn't that pretty now...

Lots of thunderstorms in the neighbourhood, I doubt they will get a clear range.

How much launch window is left today?

How much launch window is left today?

Slightly less than an hour, closes at 4:13 PM their time. I don't see it getting much better. Even if the storms pass, there might be outflow, wind, all that crap

Clock counting again, but now there is a technical issue...

A bird currently in the landing barge... if the rocket lands, I guess we now what will be for dinner for the recovery crews.

 

[Urwumpe]

I am impressed that the bird is there. There are not many birds that far away from the coast.

Probably very happy to have found 'land', might be in for a hell of a surprise

Polling: at least 5 "no-go"s pending stuff....

 

[GLS]

T-10 minutes

 

[GLS]

The cruise ship should be out of the way by T0... not so sure about the weather...
T-5 minutes

 

[GLS]

Hold at T-4:33... I guess the bird will survive

 

[GLS]

Interstellar-like music now playing....

 

[Urwumpe]

I am sure, the bird enjoy a rest on the barge. The weather also doesn't look that nice already.

 

[GLS]

No word yet, but the clock has disappeared so it seems like game over.
