• Going to have a weather briefing at 8:30 Eastern. Maybe roll by 9:00.
• #269 by rdale on 19 Apr, 2010 23:58
• Getting a good dose of lightning off to the west with that next batch. Combined with the "official" forecast going into the red, sounds like we might be a few hours from first motion.
• #270 by DaveS on 20 Apr, 2010 00:35
• Any chance of the lightning letting up ahead of 10 pm EDT?

  What is up with such early first motions? Aren't they normally scheduled at 12am?
• #275 by rdale on 20 Apr, 2010 01:43
• Early? 6pm is late... In any case, probably due to manpower needs with shuttle landing the same day. You probably would have the same crew landing and taking care of shuttle one day, then prepping for the rollover that next night.

• So, assume this will reduce the number of contingency days in the flow by one? Does anyone know how many days we have?
