The weather finally cleared up but it was long after the planned tzero priebus spacex ingress team did return t to the pad and sent the road walks around the pad demarcating where the area is. As you just heard spacex and doug areb working the seal around dragon to make sure the dragon capsule pressures equalized with a crew arm and then well go into the hatch opening sequence. Or have several more minutes and we will carry that as we go. A couple of points to bring up. Once the crew comes off of the dragon and comes back down and goes back to the crew quarters we will be leaving. Thats good.
