Thanks Kevin for the ping.
I appreciate the reminder for Friday Night’s Launch.
Fox is already saying storms could be an issue.
Enjoy your day tomorrow.

If that spider works all night, the shuttle may have problems with liftoff.
To: thecraw

I sure hope that Banana Spider isn't on the Endangered Species List. You know the animal rights crows would sue to shut down the launch pad protect it.

Maybe tonight! 30% chance of rain at launch time. Cameras are on ready...but they’ve been that way for several days.
