Darn it, darn it

And the engine sensors failed to respond, scrubbing the launch for today...and rescheduling for 4:09 tomorrow. Already have the spot to watch picked out...about 3 miles down coast at Port Canaveral. Watched the Delta Heavy from a bar there...up the street there is a jetty that has a straight view. In order to make that, we have to pull my daughter from school early (dismissal for her is 4). Didn't want to do that in her first week....but we're gonna anyway.

Takes longer and more planning for these jaunts. We have Feb and April launches to plan better.

Your daughter will remember for the rest of her life how her dad pulled her out of school to watch a huge metal tube ignite and tear-ass toward the stars. To me, which is better: learning from a book after the fact or learning at the scene of the action? Yup...no brainer. Awesome. Smile, Amy
