Titusville - SpaceX heavy delayed until Sunday

Not especially active - kind of standing around

 We were all set to watch a SpaceX heavy launch but it has been delayed until Sunday night. It’s the the most powerful operational rocket in the world and consists of three SpaceX regular rockets tied together. The outer two will return and land at the Kennedy Space Center in tandem. We’ll look forward to the launch Sunday.

The local birds are taking the cold weather in stride, it’s due to reach 34F tonight! After that it gradually warms up over the next week all the way to 81F on Thursday. So the birds are still  active, just not as active as usual - these are tropical birds. 

The Ibis are out too

Meanwhile, I continue getting Fleetwing ready for the trip to Key West. I think I have the Genset problem solved by cleaning all the cable contact points between the battery and the Genset. I was losing a lot in the many connections. The acid test will be when we try to start it on a cold morning.

The Donald Ross bridge is still not repaired and probability won’t be until the end of next week. We are up to 85 boats waiting for the bridge to reopen for marine traffic.  I’m posting the status every day for my 18,000 member Facebook group. Meanwhile, we wait.

SLS has more lift capability than Falcon Heavy ... but I noticed you caveated your statement with Operational ... While NASA seems to think SLS operational, maybe other people do not.
