Ron Garan still being worked for his ingress, and you can see that Karen Nyberg is also getting her finishing touches for launch:

I know there is a weather thread and I should ask this question there but does anyone know if the SLF crosswinds limit could be violated today as the latest SLF observation 1:55 PM EDT shows winds East at 9 mph with gusts to 21 mph (that is a crosswind component to the SLF for either RWY 15 or 33) but I am not sure how much, hopefully the winds will die down some as we approach the launch time. Now back to launch updates...
