Very sad it is to be the last flight––there's three APU's on her, but everything has to be a GO for flight.

They are SOooo lucky it scrubbed before I shut down early, unhooked the work trailer, unloaded the bed, picked up the knuckleheads from daycare, and started the drive north.
Anybody got an observation point that tops Space View park? Direct launch pad view & close enough for a good rumble? |

I'm more than familiar with the OV's...and have changed out more than a few APU's during SCAPE operations
Also familiar with monomethyl hydrazine (APU fuel) and nitrogen tetroxide... |

Good thing is that they screwed up Obama's photo op. He doesn't care about space exploration unless it makes the muslims happy.

Probably delayed until next week. Service might take 3-4 days, and there's an Atlas launch scheduled for Friday. I'm going to guess 09 MAY.
