I guess I'll just delete the whole thing from the DVR and set it up for tomorrow.
Mike,
They are going to make a decision late tonight based on projected winds. If they don't go tomorrow then they have until Saturday. Then things get backed up at the Cape.
It also seemed to get just a hair off kilter for a moment or two but corrected quickly (and if I did see that, it was a successful test of the flight control properties as well).
I saw the same thing.
Some idiot in a boat entered the restricted area so the launch is on hold until they get it out of there. If it was me, I'd launch a missile up the guy's, ahhhh, stern yea his stern.
Everything else is good.
At 3:43 till launch, ground winds caused a hold. If that idiot didn't cause the delay it would be flying right now. Guess he has some splaining to do.
Scrubbed for today. Five No Go/Holds. One for the boat, next two for wind, final two were mechanical. They ran out of time for the launch window. Next chance may be tomorrow.
Progress re-supply launch is scheduled for 12:55 tomorrow morning. After three consecutive re-supply failures from three different launch platforms, this one needs to get up there.

One hates to wish Puten's regime well on any topic...
but a successful supply mission would be a good thing right about now.
Thanks for the fuel, water and oxygen but where are the pretzels and beer? You suck Putin.
Couldn't sleep so I watched the Progress dock at the ISS. Interesting ballet between two objects hauling around the Earth.
