Vehicle is at the pad. The weather sure looks like a nice day for a launch.

I couldn't find a complete copy either, although there are some photographs from a presentation showing slides from it (including the launch timeline) posted earlier in this thread.

The post is from last year, but being an SSO mission I wouldn't expect there to have been any significant changes to the timeline.

FutureSpaceTourist has been away for over a month, possibly for a job assignment. That leaves me, and I'm providing 24/7 care for a dementia patient, which I can only do when that person is asleep or watching TV. That leaves the mods of this section, and they don’t have the time. I've been trying to recruit and train, but not everyone is willing to commit. Like today, when I'm not available during the launch, I try to backfill with what I can.

(Tired) Tony
