The narrator Chris said they not only have to have good weather at the cape, they need it all along the east coast because that is their flightplan. Up the east coast then over to Ireland. They also said they have 2 C-17's on standby with paratroopers to rescue in case they had to abort.

Weather forecast I just saw says that it is worse for Saturday than it was yesterday. But, they will get it launched sooner or later.

He's a physicist who follows all things space related and he also has a 6 part series on the development of nuclear weapons and how they work.
