#11 The Kamala proximity factor did not position the launch for success. Because the complexity is complex. |

#3 There are 100,000 launch tourists waiting who will probably not riot if the launch does not happen today. There's a story in there somewhere. |

#2 ...GOOD NEWS: The possible structural problem isn't one. BAD NEWS: The engine issue is rather stubbornly refusing to resolve itself, and they're on an unplanned hold at T-40 minutes. Have a feeling that if they can't figure this out quickly, this isn't going to be an on-the-pad fix. Mike |

#1 ...Watching this right now (0640 EST), and they got issues: a possible structural problem and an engine that doesn't want to cooperate. MC says they're going to slip the 0833 launch time, just not sure when or for how long. Mike |
