T-13 min. Overcast, broken clouds.

When there is a launch at 39A, all the work crews on the new pad building are not working. So, having two consecutive launch days does affect their work schedule.

There was a late change in the ASDS used BTW (initially noticed by cameras at the Cape 2 days ago and now confirmed by the stream) - it's ASOG and not JRTI as stated on the website that did this recovery.
