[s-cars] //SFest --- shirts available

[Robert Rossato]

Hi y'all.  Checking in from our field office at Cape Caneveral.

Put me down for an XL, and I'll get you money at some point.  I'll forward this to Bys as well, as I'm sure he would be interested.

P.S.  BTW, based on press conference presently going on, no-go for launch until Sunday at the very earliest and that is an extremely remote chance if all the stars, planets, and tea leaves align.  Most likely Tue/Wed next week with a possibility of getting pushed back until Sept.  

One of 4 fuel level sensors which tell main engines to shut off was faulty (indicating fuel still present when tank was drained), and now apparently has become intermittent, which makes troubleshooting more fun.  

Related trivia.  The main engines suck down the equivalent of a 20k gallon swimming pool of liquid hydrogen and oxygen every 20 seconds.  At some point I should send you the pictures I took of the _17"_ diameter fuel lines feeding the engines.

I won't be sticking around for a potential launch next week.  Flying back Fri.  My streak of perfect launches is broken.  Oh well, had to happen.
