Actually, that was my question, but thanks for the video. I guess whether they launch with or without the box depends on the temperature.
I took a tour of Wallops Island way back in the 60s when I was about 8-9 years old. Unfortunately I didn't see any rockets there at the time.

I live on the West Coast, so I only get to see the launches from VAFB. Catch you later.

Send some gunships out to scare of the boats!
Heh. We went over this with a boat in the range during shuttle. This would get the boat out of there! 
I suspect many of the Wallops "boats" are large cargo ships transiting to some of the major northeast ports. People will be upset if the cheap Guchi Knockoff shipments are at the bottom of the Atlantic.

When it comes to the sounding rocket business, I believe that such long, start-stop launch campaigns are typical even for single-launch missions. They queue up the rockets, and wait - for hours, days, weeks, even months sometimes for the just-right conditions to appear.

A status summary: Looking good for the launches tonight. Launch window runs from 2am EDT through 5 am EDT.
Currently running a couple of MPH above the 20 MPH limit for removing the shelters from the rockets, but the forecast is for the ground winds which are the primary concern for tonight to die down as the night progresses. This is the reason for the later launch window which previously ran from midnight EDT through 3am EDT.

Keep an eye on it guys please. This window isn't doable for me (I'll try four hours sleep, but that usually isn't clever)
