Launch Day 11:28 AM EDT

The launch forecast shows a 40% chance that weather constraints may be violated by Anvil Clouds, Lightning, or Cumulus Clouds.

A problem has cropped up a few minutes ago. Commands from the Astrotech Space Operations facility (near the launch site) are not getting into the spacecraft.

I don't know how closely NASA TV will show the Flight Software station in the Launch Support Room, but if they do, you'll see four mission patches that I adorned our two monitors with. Apollo 11 and 17 patches represent the first and last manned landings on the Moon, and Constellation and Orion represent the future return of humans to the lunar surface. LRO bridges the past and future of human exploration of the Moon.
