    Do you get nervous working around cryo propellants? I sure as hell would.

    Ethernet switch replaced, leak fixed. Launch will slip due to testing of the switch and retopping of the tanks. Switch controls access to range radar.

    Doing a launch check now, sounds like it’s going well and looking like the countdown clock will continue soon.

    Nice. Totally spoiled by the quality of SpaceX launches with all the live feed onboard cameras and telemetry data on screen.

    I'd never looked at flight tracking data around a launch but it's interesting (to me, anyway) seeing all the open airspace/how flights are routed.

    Hope to see some videos from on board some of these flights.
