After complaining to KSC last week about their launch schedule postings, they’ve been much better.

KSC: We’re thinking of launching at 8AM tomorrow.

Me: Yeah, that’s not gonna work for me. I’m getting a haircut.

KSC: Okay, roger that. How about 9AM?

Me: Perfect! Consider yourselves GO for liftoff. And, hey, thanks for the show!

The high winds were pushing the ocean over the entire beach this morning. It nearly knocked me off of my feet on the way to my car, and I’m no featherweight.

It is a little cold for Florida too. We had to throw a log on the old video fireplace to simulate warmth. Notice the windows plastered with salt.

Coincidence? I think not.

I complained to the Kennedy Space Center (in a polite, constructive manner, of course) that they were not keeping their rocket launch schedule webpage complete and up-to-date, causing, presumably, people to travel to see a launch that was not going to take place or miss one altogether. I found this peculiar in the internet age (let alone the “space age”).

I said it was frustrating for a visitor to the Space Coast (particularly the ones from Montana) to find accurate launch information. I may have even asked, “If the Kennedy Space Center does not know when their rockets go up, who does?”

The launch shown here was not even listed in their schedule. I came upon it from another source (oh yeah, I’ve got “sources,” baby!) and I mentioned it to them. I never heard back, but suddenly this launch is listed on their website.

Apparently, I need to tell the Kennedy Space Center when their rockets are blasting off.

Geez, I’ve got to do everything!
