In other butterfly effect news related to the slip, maybe the Indians can now finally get their GSLV to work, since it is now the first launch of the year....

Well, that was prescient

I like the Isle of Luck in the North Atlantic in the mission patch. But really for this mission, if the patch is going to show the satellite high above the Earth, shouldn't the portion of the globe shown be southeast Asia?

.. and the fat lady hasn't sung yet, I'm not counting any chickens until they hatch on this one. The lead has changed so many times, it's essentially neck and neck.

I'm fairly sure posters on this board were claiming Antares/Cygnus would beat Falcon 9/Dragon to ISS back when Antares was still called Taurus II. Such is the nature of the beast.
