[GCARC] Antares Launch Tonight

[John Zaruba Jr]

Yep, some moron in a pleasure boat fouling the range.

Hopefully that captain will have a meaningful conversation with the Coast Guard.

Assuming 24 hour reset/turn around tomorrow's launch attempt will occur at 18:19 EDT.

Weather doesn't look quite as picture perfect as today, keep your fingers crossed.

73,
