If only Community Organizer Man were there to talk reason to the wind! Remember when he caused the sea levels to recede back in 2008? /s

Just being politically correct - these days even the wind has lawyers ready to sue at the slightest hint of racism ...

The morning temperature inversion layer causing some of these wind problems is forecast to terminate well within this morning’s launch window.

Any idea why the 9:45 limit? They are not docking at ISS or anything. Seems like they could go at any time.
