Reporters on the upcoming Space X Mission with a 4 crew heading to the International Space station for six months. It is scheduled for sunday evening. Well, hello, everybody, and welcome from the Kennedy Space center in florida. I would like to welcome everyone to the traditional pre launch News Conference following todays launch readiness review ahead of the crew one falcon 9 and dragon flight to the International Space station. Here to provide all of the details are folks that were part of the review today. And also have been part of a lot of the preparations that have led up to this moment. Its an exciting day for everyone for nasa and spacex and hopefully everyone tuning in today. Let me introduce the panel and ill let them give you words before they take questions. Steve, the program here at kennedy, and joel montbano, of Johnson Space center in houston, and norm knight, the deputy manager of Flight Operations director at johnson. Also joining us is bengy reed, the senior director of human Space Programs and spacex, great to have him with us, and kurt costello, the nasa chief scientist at Johnson Space center. And last but not least, arlenea moses, the launch weather officer for the 45th weather squadron, so i know everybody is looking forward 20 hearing from her. With that, turn it over to steve. Thank you, kyle. And its great to be here following the launch readiness review today. It has been a busy few days since we last talked. We talked to you after the flight mainstream review on tuesday, and since that time, we have put the falcon 9 vehicle through a fire, to make sure that all of the systems on the rocket were functioning as expected and we have reviewed all of that data and the rocket looks really good. It was important for us to do some inspections after that. And we swapped out a couple of inspections and everything looks really good. We did a dry dress practice with the crew and they suited up and got in their space suits and on the launch pad and into the vehicle. This is the first time we have put four people in dragons vests, and that wet really well. Oval, in terms of looking at the weather and looking at recovery of the booster for this flight, we have adjusted the launch day. We were doing a saturday launch, and adjusted it 24 hours later and today were starting a sunday launch at 7 27 eastern time and that will put docking on monday at 11 p. M. Eastern time. We did that, and looked carefully at the weather and the onshore flow looked really not so good for saturday. And also, we needed to get the drone recovery ship in place to recover the booster for nasa, and the booster for spacex is very important for us. Were going to reuse the first phase were flying on 1 for the crew mission, and crew 2 has a launch date of march 30th. So its important to recover that booster to get the drone ship in place. Oval, its going to be an exciting flight. Crew one is going to be the longest space flight ever, exceeding what we had on sky lab 3. Its important to have the crew in the capsule, which were excited about for the space station, and its our first faa light launch as well as we move into the next step. So were excited to fly this increment mission for the program and to launch. And were looking forward to a launch on sunday. Ill turn it over to joel. Thank you, steve. And welcome to the press brief. In the past days, we have had a number of reviews as steve mentioned and today as we concluded the readiness review, i can tel tell you that were ry for this mission. A launch time of 7 27 p. M. Eastern time on sunday, giving us a docking of late monday england, approximately 11 p. M. Eastern time. Shortly after docking, well do the standard lead checks and then have a welcome ceremony onboard, and that will be 2 and a half hours after docking. This week, we have been doing a lot of discussion with kate and sergei on orbit today and keeping them up to speed on the preparations and theyre excited and ready to have new crew members onboard. This vehicle is bringing in approximately 240 kilograms of pressurized cargo to enhance what were doing on the International Space station. With these four crew members, adding to the three onboard, well have a total of seven crew members for a sustained increment. This vehicle will stay up for a Long Duration increment and returning april of next year. So were looking for the sustained time onboard to allow the science and the increased development we do and for the art miss program and future programs. Also this year, celebrating 20 years of continuous human presence onboard the International Space station. And during those 20 years, we set the standard for International Cooperation and international operations, but we keep learning. We learn every day. And you know, nasa, with american industry has developed these special vehicles that allow us to bring more people to lower earth orbit. To the International Space station, and allows more science on earth orbit and more commercial opportunities. So huge thanks for the commercial program and to spacex to getting us to where we are today. Were glad to be here and excited for the launch on sunday and looking forward to mondays docking and the Long Duration ink met. So with that, ill turn it over to norm. Thank you, joe, and as stated, the review today went very well. Weeingo that. And stepping back to the cycle with just the journey leading up to this, and it was evident that the closed out work and the less work there was in the overall Readiness Level in the team for this vehicle. So it was very encouraging, an absolute focus on crew safety and vehicle safety. Which both the nasa and the spacex teams have done a very good job with. And were very satisfied with that. This was on the heels of dry dress yesterday, as steve mentioned and that went very well and it was the first opportunity to let the crew set up and try out the vehicle to make sure that the fit was right and there were no last minute type things that needed to be tweaked up prior to launch and that went very well and were excited about that. I had an opportunity to meet with the crew this morning to talk with them a little bit about their upcoming launch and they were absolutely excited. And you could just feel the radiant excitement coming off of them. And in fact, when i walked out of that briefing, i was excited myself. You could just feel the energy from the crew, and we have seen that throughout the team, which is great, which means that were real close and ready to go, which is very important. You know, the message that they wanted to convey is resilience, and to echo once again that the journey to get here is one of resilience. And it was a hard journey with a lot of stuff going on, and covid affecting the teams, but it was that resilience and determination by a lot of folks that have led up to this point, and well safely get them into orbit and safely get them docked before six months ago of science and returning back to earth safely as well. So again, a lot of folks that were involved with that, and just an appreciation for that hard work that has got us to that point. So with that, i will turn it over to benji and look forward to questions later. Great, and thank you very much, norm. First of all, i am sitting here and im excited again to be here. To think that this is our third time we have had the opportunity to come here and launch from Kennedy Space center, and we did our inflight test back in the beginning of the year and did our demo 2 missions and now were coming up on the first Operational Mission to start providing crude services to the station, to keep joels program running, six month intervals, its incredible and if you wauped this before the press briefing, you saw the montage of the past missions and to hear joel talk about the last 20 years in space, its so cool and an honor to be here. Im certainly stoked. On behalf of all of the spacex employees and our vendors and partners, all of our families, i want to take this opportunity to say thank you to nasa and to all of our partners to let us be part of this, and to help carry the sacred honor and responsibility on our shoulders. This is the culmination of years of work and effort from a lot of people. A lot of time, and we have built, i think what i would call one of the safest launch and spacecraft ever. And its an honor to be part of that. We culminated our efforts with that with our static fire on wednesday, and steve mentioned that and i think that we have a video to show that. That was a full 7 seconds static fire, and they finished that up. Those reviews, we did joint reviews with the nasa teams and our teams and it looked great. We assessed everything that came from the vehicle and we felt very good about it. As you know, we did work on the engines and the vehicles, and getting ready for that launch, and that static fire is very key to ensuring that were ready to go. Those 7 seconds looked awesome and the next thing i want to show you, a picture that we have from dry dress, and thats the dress rehearsal that we do from the crew. And they do the whole thing, where they get suited up in the onc building here in Kennedy Space center, and they come across in their tess laz, and go up the tower and go all the way to the dragon and its an important process that we do, we walk through that and the ground team is working with the crew and the crew itself and making sure that everything checks out. When i look at this picture, i get excited about the next it step on the big journey we have ahead of us. We have four astronauts going up, and we have one person who has never been to space, victor, who is very excited. We have savicci, our First International partner and its really really cool. Lets talk about whats going to happen on launch day itself. And as i talked about dry dress as a practice for that. And four hours before launch day, the crew will be in the onc building, in the area getting suited up and our suit techs will be helping them get ready and well be doing various leak checks and fit checks as we go through that, and the astronauts will come out 3 hours before launch and get into the teslas, and wave goodbye to their families and come across to the launch pad. Come across the launch tower and come across the crew arm and 2 and a half hours before launch, they will get in the vehicle. They will get inside of the vehicle and get all strapped in and safe at about approximately 45 minutes before launch and they will do the final go poll for loading the vehicle and for arming the escape system. We have a launch escape system on dragon thats ready to go just in case something goes wrong with the launch vehicle, dragon can escape the crew to safety and splash down in the ocean. At that point, 30 minutes before launch is when we start loading the launch vehicle with propellant. And were off. Lets go next to the line drawing that we have. And this gives you a sense of what it looks like doing the launch. I wont go through all of the details, and coming through the highlights here, 2 minutes 40 seconds, we have the first and second stage separation, and after that happens, the first stage will land on the ship, which is heading out right now to be in position to be ready for that. And in the second stage, were going to be carrying dragon to orbit. 8 minutes 50 seconds intoed mission, the second engine will cut out and shortly that, dragon will separate and theyre off to the journey to station. If we go to the next line drawing, we can see that. And get a sense of what this looks like. So phasing is the process where were essentially catching up with space station. And the process is, space station is zooming around the earth very fast and so is dragon. Youre trying to use the game where you are using the dragon and minimizing the amount of fuel to catch up and get the two vehicles to come together. So you go through this process of phasing, and based on the mechanics and the day and time of launch, in this case, the particular phasing time will take about 25 hours, and 25 hours well be close to where we need to be to basically be in position to come up to the station, and then a few hours that, we will have docked to the station. Im going to talk about whats going to happen once they dog. The crew dock on the station, and they will be welcomed by the other crew up there, and get to work quickly. The two things involving spacex during their six months on station, one is coming up in a few weeks. We have our first cargo dragon, our new dragon 2 cargo vehicle, that will be our cirrus 21 mission, and thats full of science for the crew to be working on. And so the first few weeks after they docked, theyre going to be getting ready for that and wrapping up other work and they will be spending time working on all of the Critical Science going on there, and near the end of their time, well be sending up another dragon, so crew 2 dragon will go up, again with another four astronauts on poured and that will dock to station, and again, there will be a handoff and they will see each other, hand off the work and about a week later our crew one will come home. Lets look at that. You can see here, we do another departure. The docking process, its fully automated and autonomous. And the astronauts were able to take control. And the astronauts on the iss are able to see that everything is happening correctly. And as we head away, we start the phasing to come home and its the same process that i talked about. We need to phase to make sure that we hit the right spot on the earth at the right time for splashdown. After that happens, our recovery crews will come out and they will be meeting the crew. We have a large recovery vessel and fast boats, and the fast boats will go out and meet the crew and the first thing they will do is check the area and make sure that everything is safe for approach. And the second fast boat will be recovering the parachutes, and then well go ahead with the larger vehicle, which will pull dragon out of the water. All right, one of the things i do want to mention as we talk about this recovery process, we know that everybody is very excited about launch and very excited about recovery and human space flight in general. And we ask that everybody is resolved and if you come out to watch the launch and everything that were doing, wear your mask and follow social distancing guidelines and keep everybody safe. And second, we ask that all of the boaters Pay Attention to what the navy and the coast guard regulations are and add advisories. Its very important that we keep the recovery crews and the astronauts themselves safe. I want to take one more moment to do a couple of important things. Number one, i want to thank all of the spacexers and their families. And then all of our different teams and partners involved in the effort to get us here. Its a very big team. And part of the certification as we have gone will you and talked about the other day, that nasa has certified all of our systems for human space flight. That certificationest is really important and it represents the countless hours and hours of work that were put in by all of these teams. Dragon and falcon, the ground team, the launch site teams, and its all of our hardware and software operators and everybody, all of them put our time in and sacrifice and dedication needed. The same is true for all of our nasa partners and vendors, a big thank you there. And finally, a very important special thank you to the astronauts who will be flying. Victor, mike, shannon, and to your family, we thank you for the trust that you put into spacex to get you to space, to be there as a lifeboat and get them home safely. Thank you on behalf of all of us. Well hear from kurt, talking about the science and the reason that these guys are actually going up there, take it away, kurt. Thank you, as joel mentioned earlier, it was less than two weeks ago we were celebrating 20 years of continuous crude presence on orbit. And we were not celebrating an ending, but just the end of the beginning. The launch coming up with additional crew members to the iss is the start of an era for research and discovery onboard. The capabilities much the crew dragon bringing additional crew and samples back to the site at ksc is an amazing capability. We hope to double the crew time for science and research, and we hope to get easier access for those satchels when they come back to earth and easier access for our crew members, pre and postflight to conduct some of our human research. We have self investigations going up on this flight. We have 28 kilograms of payloads going up, and some of those experiments will be going up to include education and Public Outreach experiments for him. And then we have a human experiment looking at the humble fruit fly, and how it adapts in orbit for rhythm. And if you can imagine when you have 16 day and night cycles every day, it can be confusing to the body. They are great little organisms, they share 95 of the genes that cause disease in the human body. And last but not least, our astronauts are on the research team, and they will be before and after the mission, one is food physiology, which is looking at whether nutritional changes in the astronauts diet can be for the astronauts diet. And again, mike and victor and especially for my old alum, shannon from rice, godspeed and thank you so much for the hard amount of work and research youre going to be putting in. Thanks, kurt. And something that everybody likes to talk about is weather. So lets turn it over to arlenea and have her give the latest launch forecast. For us in florida, we have been plagued by Tropical Storm eta for most of the upcoming weekend and it was uncertain at first if it was going to clear out this weekend. But thankfully eta is well out to sea and moving further with time and with its passage, it brought a bit of a cool front here into florida. It doesnt feel like it much now, its still warm and humid. But overall, its going to give us a pretty good shot for weather for the primary launch date. As we look at the forecast, we are looking right now with a possibility of 40 with that kind of weak front that came through. A couple of days ago, its going to kind of creep back towards us, and were going to keep the winds light and variable. So its not going to be as much of a concern for our attempt to launch on sunday. But were going to see a few showers in here with cumulus clouds, and election the concern for flying both the dragon and the capsule, during the launch time. As we look at our backup window going into wednesday, so a couple of days later, we dry out quite a bit. A nice area of high pressure, and we get a true florida cold front coming through, and the temperatures are going to be a bit cool for at least us in florida, maybe not for everybody. But the rain chances drop quite a bit. A concern for only a few clouds, and the downside, the winds coming from the northeast, a little bit stronger on that particular day, but its something that well be monitoring with the weather. So good luck, everyone, and well be doing our part with the weather to make sure that we launch successfully. Great, thanks a lot. And thanks everybody else, and were ready for questions. There are a lot of people in the queue as you can imagine, and it has been a long day. We have half an hour or so for questionandanswer, and im going to call on you by name and affiliation, and if you can try to limit your question to a onepart question so we can try to get to as many folks as we can on the line, and first up is marsha dunn, associated press. Reporter yes, hi, and hoping that you can hear me. For steve, im wondering what is nasas thinking about elin being allowed into the Launch Control and for benji, to have him in person for the launch. Thank you. I think marshas question, i dont know who this would be directed to, is there a concern relative to the covid concern that elin musk raised earlier via text or tweet . Ill jump had and start on that one. As was in the news today, it was reported that elon took several covid tests, and that started up a bunch of questions relative to health and potential contamination, but what i can tell you, nasa and our commercial partners have a Health Stabilization plan in place, and really its a protocol that protects the flight crew from any disease or illness, because if theyre compromised, that can compromise the mission and we pay a lot of attention to that, and we have done that for years. This is something that has been in place for the apollo timeframe and shuttle and all of the stations as well to make sure that were protecting the flight crew, and how we do this is, that obviously the crew is, when they come close to launch or put into a quarantine and they start that soft quarantine about 21 days prior to flight, that period is from 21 days to 14 days, with the soft quarantine and theyre really starting to isolate and reduce their movement and exposure to other folks, and then at 14 days to launch, a hard quarantine, where theyre totally isolated and watched closely by the docs and thats a protocol thats in place for the crew, and in addition to that, that protocol is also for all folks that have contact with the crew. So we train our personnel and the spacex personnel in this case, and what the protocols are, we train them and make sure that we understand hygiene, social distancing, mask requirements when around the crew. You have to have certain protocols met before you can get close to the crew, whether train org getting close to launch, and those people, depending on the level of contact that they have with the crew, theyre covid tested to make sure that theyre safe, and again, that access is very restricted, so you can kind of think of it as concentric circles from the center and protecting as they go out and as the circles go out, the protocols change relative to the contact that people have with the crew. Now, if any of those personnel in that ring, or any of those rings comes up with any covid type symptoms, theyre tested and we do Contact Tracing to make sure that we knew who they were around and what impact that could possibly have to the team. So again, we have a Health Stabilization plan in place, and it has worked effectively for many years, just like its working today in this environment. Would you like to add any words for the spacex team . Sure, we need to remember that we have thousdsan of people working on spacex, and it takes those people to launch the spacecraft. Its important to remember, any one of our team members, if they get a covid test, we work through that. We have all of the protections in place if we do to make sure that everybody is safe. And certainly in the case of our launches and the crew, everybody is safe and we do the Contact Tracing that needs to be done, and we need to make sure that were good for launch and all of the critical personnel involved. Thanks. Restricted access and everything, and no one is above this access, and doesnt matter if youre elon musk, or joe biden, if you dont meet any of the protocols, were not going to let you near the crew, and again, its to protect the Overall Mission that were trying to accomplish, and everybody recognizes that, and its no surprise. The. Thank you both. And i think that we have the audio problem fixed and well go to abc news many [ no audio ] lets go to the next one, and bill harwood with cbs news. Can you hear me . Yep. Great. Im not sure who this is for, but a really quick question, and if you covered t. I apologize. Was part of the issue today the expected weather in the recovery zone . In other words, was the forecast to be out of limits or was it favorable and the ship couldnt get there in time or both . Thanks. Its fundamentally, it was an issue of getting the drone ship there in time. The weather was such because of the Tropical Storm that we couldnt get the drone ship to leave in time to get there, and the seas are such that we cant get the speed up to get there that we were home to to get the saturday launch. We were able to leave port yesterday around midday. And now were going to be getting there in plenty of time for a sunday launch. Okay, next is paul, united press international. Thanks for taking my call, can you hear me . Yes, sir. My question is, about the change, could you walk us through the norm about what happens when you delay a launch by day like this, and a cruise launch, does anything have to be done to the capsule . Im assuming that more fuel has to be added and does the crew have to repack their cargo or anything like that if theyre going to be there three times longer or in flight longer than we would . Thanks. Why dont you start out with the vehicle. Absolutely, and in terms of the vehicle, really, theres nothing different than we do, right . We checked out and went into all of the tests that i talked about and many months ago up to launch, and now we do the tests this week to make sure that were ready and we go through the flight readiness reviews, and all of these are go for the launch tomorrow. And the only thing thats not go for launch is the position in overall weather. So that is really key, and theres nothing more that we do other than double and triple check. This is what were all doing, all of the engineers and all of us will be looking at data and ensuring that everything is ready to go to take the crew safely. And its going to be a Good Opportunity for people to catch up on some rest. And then from a crew standpoint, whether theyre getting to the space station in 8 hours or 27 hours, flight one or flight two rendezvous, from a crew perspective, its pretty much the change. The timeline will change. From the launch, they will have stayed up and pressed through dock and go in the case of sunday, its a day two launch. And the crew will go to sleep in dragon and wake up and jump into the rendezvous profile. To prepare them to dock for station. And also, for slips like this, depending on the timing of that, there could be cargo that comes off. And maybe kirk could address that. But i dont believe thats the case for sunday. Next up, tariq malick. Thank you so much. And my question i think is about the extended trip for the crew and the astronauts there. On the last flight, with the demo too, the trip we saw, with life on crew dragon was like, and im sure with this added time, what we can expect to see, the tour and a taste of what the trip is going to be like on monday prior to arrival and what you can expect and what the viewers might expect. Ill start out and turn it over to benji for details. But again, launch is a big deal and they prep and go on the vehicle and lage, and then obviously, once they get into orbit, theyre going to to do a series of orbital burns to get them set up for the phasing to get to the station. The crew has a timeline, and we can get you information on if theres any press briefings in that time. But the crews are in Constant Contact with the ground and im sure that youll be hearing from them relative to that. They go to sleep. They have a standard sleep period and wake up after sleeping in dragon and start getting prepped and eating breakfast, and getting situated and start prepping for the day, because its a very important day, and you start doing those critical burns, getting ready for the rendezvous profile to get set up for docking, and theres time in that day, obviously for if anything goes wrong, and once theyre on the station they utilize the time as was stated earlier to really learn about the station and learn what to do in case of an emergency, and learn to use all of the facilities on the station that are going to be very important once they dock. Did you have anything to add . Sure, it gives them more of an opportunity to try out the dragon and be crew members of the dragon, which i assume will be exciting for them, but also, it will be great for us to learn what that is, because its important to understand that the fully capable dragon with all of the seats occupied, to know what thats like, and they will be getting out of their suits and floating around. And there are a couple of broadcast events that they will be able to do with this time period. But checking things out and seeing the earth go by, i know i would love to be there too, so great. Okay, lets see, joey is next with reuters, go ahead, joey. A question for joel, i wonder if you can give us an update on the talks with russia for future flights, and some kind of Bilateral Agreement and when you think the soonest we can know when well be able to fly with russians in. Were looking to fly on each others vehicles, probably later in 2021, where well have a cosmonaut flying on our commercial vehicles, and the first step is what we call an implementing arraignment with the state department to draft that. And well be submitting that. Turning on over to cosmos, and they will work with the government to get it back to us, and well have probably another iteration or so, but all of that with the goal of flying in late 2021 on each others vehicles. Okay, the next question is from morgan from business insider. Go ahead. Hi, steve mentioned the other day that the crew was flying for years, and this would be their first cruise, and i wonder why did they launch older versions of those and also, the crew dragon vehicles have more robust tolerating the range of weather conditions. And im just wondering how they make the vehicle more robust. Thank you so much. Ill take that, and thanks, we have a few upgrades flying on crew one, and one of the things were working with spacex on it, how do we continue to evolve this vehicle and make it better . And the pressure investigations on falcon nine, many of them are an upgraded line and are that makes it a little bit more robust as spacex improved that line and are it will allow them to use it a little longer. The turban wheels on this vehicle, the wheels are prone to actually, when you get to a certain setting of the throtting on the engines, you could have certain set up, and these amour robust to the throttle and were glad to have that as a safety upgrade and also for landing, we made some improvements to the structure so we can handle a little bit more wind at the landing zone, which gives us a few more opportunities to land. So throws are three upgrades on this vehicle, and youll continue to see upgrades with the crew too and future vehicles to improve safety. I guess, cnn, are you out there, jackie . Reporter hey, i sure am and thank you so much for doing this. Another covid question, i was curious if i could get some insight on how the Contact Tracing played out and who was in charge of it. Was it spacex or a joint team and i dont know if anybody, benji or anyone else can speak to if something was to arise in Hawthorne Mission control, how it would play out. The way we work from a medical view at nasa, we have spacex flight surgeons, and nasa has flight surgeons, and we have health and human medical director, and we all work very closely together. And our flight surgeons talk to the nasa flight surgeons, and ours come from nasa, and what they have worked out, not only following the Health Stabilization protocols that they talked about, the oval good practices and procedures, making sure that were following the cdc guidelines, including with the Contact Tracing. We have worked that, and these are things that while well do things on our side. And the Contact Tracing ourselves for how were managing all of our staff w. He provide that data and review that with nasa, and everybody feels good about where were at. But in terms of the staff, you asked about the operations in hawthorne, for example n. The Launch Control and firing routes, and we have plans in place, right . We have the backup operators, and our operators have been at a heightened level of care, and they go into a type of quarantine themselves, very limited involvement access, and Different Things that we do, and different temperature screens to make sure that were ready for the longterm mission as well. Its important to note that all of that great science going on in the station requires 6 months ago of work, and that means the dragon will be up for six months, and well be monitoring the dragon systems, and how nasa is continuing to fly, we need to make sure that the critical personnel are healthy for the long haul. On the Contact Tracing, if theres any thought or concern of compromise to the flight crew, the nasa team will be doing that Contact Tracing and working with our partners at spacex to do that tracing or whoever the contractor or nasa facility may come from, and well trace that back and find the impact. For the specific teams, if they have not had contact with the crew, we dont believe they have had contact with the crew, and the director, to do those kinds of contact traces, and as bengy said, its under the auspice of the Health Stabilization program and the guidelines set forward. Its very thorough. Next up, kenneth chang, new york times, and go ahead, ken. [ no audio ] lets see who is next in the queue. Just waiting for that update. Ken dropped off. Suzie from business insider. Is that right . Yes, thank you. So my question is, what are the launch dates beyond sunday f. You have to delay again, and what are the weather conditions at the splashdown site like for emergency recovery . I can take that question. So we have a series of launch dates coming up. And obviously, sunday is our prime date. And then we would stand down on monday, monday, theres a spacewalk going on on the iss so thats not a good day to go off and rendezvous and dock to the space station. Tuesday, also is not a good day, its a little longer rendezvous profile and we dont want to take that profile. So the next opportunity would be wednesday, thursday, friday in the middle of next week. Right now, for sunday, the weather looks pretty good along the coast. What we do, we protect for an escape from the launch pad, all the way up into orbit. So we have weather constraints, and right now, those look good for monday. And we have not looked far out to wednesday, and in the middle of the week, it looks good not only for the launch weather, but the recovery drone ship, which is important as well. So were pretty well set up for sunday, and as arlene said, we have to watch the local weather as the front comes through. We get some presip or storms along the front lines. Thanks, steve and thanks, everybody, thats all of the questions that we had. That leads us to sunday, what everybody is talking about, the preparations for launch are on going be obviously, and with our nasa tv coverage, its going to continue and start at 3 15 p. M. Eastern time on sunday. We have a comprehensive broadcast land planned for you,d make sure that you tune into that. The launch is targeted for 7 20 p. M. Eastern time from Launch Complex 39a, the starting point for crew ones adventure if you will to the International Space station. With that launch sunday evening, crew dragon resilience and its four astronauts are scheduled to dock at 1 12 p. M. On monday as well. So thank you for everyone tuning in today. And one reminder, keep practicing social distancing and go crew one, thanks again, ever. Oftomorrows planned launch nasas spacex was postponed 24 hours due to weather and high winds. Sunday, live coverage of the launch starting at 3 15 p. M. Eastern. Watch it on cspan.
