MM NEWS
Rocket Launch Update
Hurricane Ian really took a toll on the rocket launch schedule. The good news is that the Space Coast seems to have weathered the storm well, thanks to lots of good preparation. The bad news is that I can no longer attend the launch of this particular rocket. BUT, I will be back down there sooner than later. I’ll keep you posted!
Update: The NASA Social folks reached out to me yesterday and said that I get priority for the next one!
