Latest weather briefing still at 40% chance of favourable conditions with clouds, winds & precipitation as a concern.

Blinkz · 5 Dec 2014 at 11:05

Weather currently all green so fingers crossed it stays that way! The vehicle is all working well as well! An hour to go....

I'm not holding my breath, I'm betting winds and precipitation scrub it again

Indeed!! We only need it to hold up for a few mins, 2 mins in flight and it will be above most of the weather!!

It's interesting hearing them discuss how they found a workaround/recommendation for the fuel drain valves. That's the best thing about space flight, they learn new things on every launch or scrub.

12m15s and still all go.

Defo, space flight is one of the few 'pure' beneficial, honest decent human activities (the idea of it rather than how we got rockets in the 1st place), it really is to boldly go where no man has gone before
