What is the quickest turnaround to launch again? What has to be done? I believe the amount of turnaround time increases if they get closer to zero in a launch sequence and then have to scrub the launch. I promise you better weather for the next few days. This morning, a cold front swept through. It did not get through in enough time. But the days should be clear for the next several days. The nights may get into the low 40's (F), but the heaters on the new O-rings should compensate for that. Here's hoping that NASA can give us an early Christmas present, a beautiful safe launch and successful mission! R. C. Pilz AT&T IMS Orlando, FL
