Clouds Clouds Clouds - its been cloudless for three months and for the past 3 days its been overcast so we miss a good launch.
Sunset launches can be majestic - the vapor trail lights up and gets pulled in different directions.

Launch from Cape Canaveral... When did the name Cape Canaveral which was changed to Cape Kennedy... change back to Cape Canaveral?

Reading the full story behind GOES-N it strikes me as odd they are going to leave this new (and apparently improved) model offline for a couple years until one of the other satelites retires or dies.
If this one is better, why wouldn't use this one now, and take one of the old ones offline to be the hot spare?
