They do a nice job on the video.  So many young people/engineers.  Both female and male.  I remember that age group.  You reach for the stars because you can.

postponed a day, now set for between 1:00 and 3:00 UTC November 17, so between 20:00 and 22:00 EST November 16.  There is a moderate weather threat of additional postponement.

Now there is a Youtube link

Now there is a Youtube link for Spacex webcast of the Zuma launch.

I've seen a claim that the weather is scored as 90% go at this point.  A backup in case of weather or other postponement is 24 hours later.

Yet another 24-hour delay,

Yet another 24-hour delay, with this heavy hint that it may likely be longer yet:

"We have decided to stand down and take a closer look at data from recent fairing testing for another customer. Though we have preserved the range opportunity for tomorrow, we will take the time we need to complete the data review and will then confirm a new launch date."

I always leave this thread

I always leave this thread amazed by how clever so many people are when it comes to blasting things into space and moving them around while they're there - and not getting too put off having another go when they blow up instead.

 

I suppose if I got thumped on the head by space junk I might be a little less impressed...

 

*pause for very long think*

 

Actually - I'm not so sure now. That would be a pretty amazing feat too... finding my head to drop stuff onto out of all the others there are about the place.

 

Thank you for keeping us informed of stuff I might not have noticed otherwise :)

 

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

To paraphrase Douglas Adams : there is a theory that this may have already happened to you. Sigh ..... ;-))))

Cheers, Mike.

I do hope you realise, Mike -

I do hope you realise, Mike - that every time I've shoved my head through this door today - I've suffered an injury.

 

Yes.

 

This article here may indicate it might be wiser if I avoided reading your reply again because *slow blink* it really was too-too-funny
