I'm not too sure about how the winds look, by way of gusts, on the flag attached to the support arm.

Drat, you beat me to it! I know the launch has been delayed a few times, but for me, it looks a little windy, considering its a new vehicle and all.

*edit* actually, that wee flag seems to be really going to town now!

Camera is bobbing around, are we sure this isn't Sealaunch?

Launch net poll taken:

All go for launch.

2hrs until the opening of the window.
