Antares media schedule change for July 12

We are moving the Antares Pre-Launch briefing to 4:30 p.m., tomorrow, July 12, in the NASA Visitor Center. It was scheduled for 1 p.m. It will still air on NASA-TV.

We are still on schedule to set up the remote cameras at 2 p.m.

Per L2 they are working an issue that could delay launch (but there's a good chance it won't). If we know either way, I'll post here.

Well looks like all is good now as they've approved tomorrow's attempt! :)

There's apparently a briefing coming up. If someone wants to cover, it'd be appreciated. If not there will be a video replay posted here, obviously.

After that, live thread for tomorrow.
