STA @ KSC

“Coming down to South to take a look at other buildups

“220 at 13 biggest buildup (no idea what that means)

STA at 14,000, buildup is well above STA

“Weather at 33mi on radar.”

KSC has a chance right now!

I just saw a great example of why NASA costs so much to operate. A Gulfstream jet was launched from Edwards, into the CAVU California sky, to do a “weather reconnaisance”. After 30 minutes it came down to shoot an approach on runway 22, then went back up to stooge around a while longer and shoot one on 40. Reminds me of the blue cards with a hole in the middle, that we used to see for sale at airport coffee shops: “Hold card up to sky. If sky matches card, file flight plan.”
