    Istres in France is green now so thats at least one TAL site available. Makes it easier to get a waiver this morning if they think they can deal with cloud cover at KSC.

    I dont have internet access in work, so all you lucky folks who get to watch the launch, enjoy it! Fingers crossed it'll launch as scheduled. I see it looks likely weather will be green at launch window.
