That is truly a great soundtrack

Been awhile since I heard Pink Floyd's "The Great Gig in the Sky" (1973)

What goes up . . .
NASA is targeting the next launch attempt of the Artemis I mission for Monday, Nov. 14 with liftoff of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft planned during a 69-minute launch window that opens at 12:07 a.m. EST. Artemis I is an uncrewed flight test to launch SLS and send Orion around the Moon and back to Earth to thoroughly test its system before flights with astronauts.

I'm hoping for the best but there's trouble brewin' in the Caribbean and 98L could be near the cape next weekend for the launch on Mon. Nov. 14th at 12:07am est. Even if the main part of the storm misses there's the surface and upper level winds to consider.

NASA doesn't seem too concerned, so far.

@Anak I figured I'd see you about this time.

Yeah, It's hard to keep us good men down.
