Coming up on L-3 hrs, all systems go for launch. I'm at a different console today and will not be able to give many updates. Please wish us luck.

Anyone know the launch wind speed limits (or sea state) for the Sea Launch Zenit?

On the webcam it looks like the sea is showing just a few scattered whitecaps, but I wonder how high they can go? I checked my Sea Launch user's guide but didn't find any launch constraint information there.
