Sorry OP but if the weather witch doctors are even close on their forecast for tomorrow then the launch will be 50/50 at best. It was cloudy all day today until about 1:30 when it just let go. Tomorrow may be worse ...

we could eliminate our entire space program and you might see $0.0275 extra in your tax refund.

Seriously, complaining about your taxes and the space program is like focusing on a single drop of water in all of lake erie.

This. We need to shift a significant portion of our defense budget over to NASA during peacetime.
