Great, thanks.
I did some field work at Homestead Airforce Base on the east coast of Florida. In the morning briefing (7am?) the Airforce guy said that we needed to be inside our vehicles or a building for the rest of the day when a thunderstorm rolled in at 16:36 pm (4:36).
I chuckled and said “Not 16:30?”
He gave me a stern look and said “16:36”.
I think he was a minute off - but that might have been my watch. I’m not sure if they have some special system for tracking weather, of if the weather down there (right on the calm, warm ocean) was just so predictable.
Anyway - I’m guessing they know exactly what weather windows they have.

Yes, I feel like that little boy watching the moon landing in ‘69!
Saturday at 3:22 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. are the preselected backup dates for the mission known as Crew Dragon Demo-2.
Or just nuke ‘em from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Air Force One arrives!

Yeeeeee-haaaawwwwwww!
I got a real bad feeling about this one
I got a real bad feeling about this one.
For some reason I do too.
Thats not funny.
What’s the track record of Space X, this rocket and this capsule? I know NASA’s.
No chit it aint funny
I’m excited but really nervous. Still have scars from Challenger when one of my best friends lost her dad.
Between the amount of previous unmanned cargo runs of the previous design…
…the two unmanned flights of next-generation Dragon capsules…
the multiple tests of the abort system…
…and the over-three-dozen parachute tests…
…I’m feeling that this health of the astronauts has been properly prioritized.
I am no fan of Elon, but I hope he doesnt kill anyone today.
Thanks, I got SyFy and SCI confused.

That’s an odd comment given the fact space flight is still a very dangerous endeavor regardless of who’s running the show.
