The time has come to practice everything…
The time has come to practice everything… rolling the rocket out, turning things off and on, and getting everything ready for launch. Today, the excitement was the practice rollout of the rocket. That was pretty cool! Since it's been hot here, they've got an air conditioner to keep me cold out on the launch pad. So they rolled me out, checked communications between me and the antennae around the launch pad, tested the air conditioner, and practiced removing it like they will before the launch. Then they turned everything off and started taking pictures. I'm a star!
Tomorrow, the rocket team will be testing the ignition system. That's gonna be loud! They'll be doing the launch rehearsal over the weekend, too. It used to be test after test, and now it's practice after practice!
Everyone is still hoping for our good weather to last… if you wanna see what it's like here, you can check the weather forecast here. But it's really hard to predict the weather! We're all waiting to see how things look for all of the rehearsals and the big day.
Oh yeah, and my photos! I've got one of the rollout. There I am up top! Then I got a group shot with some of my Goddard buddies – Kevin, Juli, Rich, and Gary. Where do I get one of those cool hard hats?
