Launch scrubbed for 24 hours

7 February, 2010 (12:20) | Observing | By: tramakers

Three members of the chapter made it out to CE “just in case the clouds would give way. But as they did not subside and we could not see anything, we did text NASA to scrub the launch for 24 hours. :-)
Well we did not do that but Stephen Ramsden, Steve Phillips and Theo Ramakers braved the temperature and the clouds, but the best we could on the south side of the field was get a picture of the moon trying to break through the clouds. (I will add later the pictures from Steve and Stephen).
We just did not want to miss the chance it would have been clear for this historic moment…….
Clear Skies
