Not looking good on the weather.

Not looking good on the weather.![]()
And who really gets to operate the shuttle the two pilots inside or someone in a facility?
New suits are pretty sweet.

All the gimps are starting to freak me out.
I never got this.
They are moving through , what 3500' before they are above any weather, what's the big deal.
This craft can make it through the atmosphere, but can't climb though some clouds at 3500'?
I don't get it
O-rings and space shuttles come to mind.
It ain't freezing outside.
The o-rings were a know issue, but a engineer backed down when he was questioned about it, because of a company culture of positivity. He was being painted as being negative, so when he was questioned he didn't have the balls to stand up, and he crawfished.
Or at least that is how I remember it, and the guy who told me the story was in the control room that day.
But they don't have the proper hole in their face masks!
They also mentioned they are watching the weather at sea east of the launch pad. Waves and recovery if an abort during launch.
#29 looks hot.
I'm actually surprised they haven't scrubbed it already. Definitely the rainiest/cloudiest launch day I've ever seen.
