The Kennedy Space center for this Historic Mission as we once again prepared a launch bob and 309a from the crew dragon, an exciting time, but where was this weather wednesday afternoon . It is a challenge to compete with the weather in florida in the summer, but we will do what is right, so were moving ahead, and sounds like we have a 5050 chance with the weather again tomorrow, and we will see how it works out.
