Is it just me, or is this MSBLS box problem starting to sound more and more like it's going to cause a scrub for today?

I don't think it's going to cause a scrub. They have a pretty good Flight Rationale to "fly-as-is" with MSBLS#3 classed as "suspect".

Also, in a previous article by Chris, it was noted that even a "failed"-classified MLS wouldn't delay the launch.
"Manager Leroy Cain - at the MMT - noted the two string ability even with one failure (number 3), which keeps the MLS within the LCC requirements for launch, as there is redundancy even if MLS 1 or MLS 2 fails during the mission." -

Amen. Even with a "failed" MLS, flight rules provide for launch with two good. If some in the flight office don't want to launch today b/c of concern with the one MLS, I'm sure the discussion will be centered around why you have flight rules at all if you're not going to stick with them. -

SIM test confirmed as successful on all counts. Absolutely no issue being worked with the tank. -
