Geez... wettest July here in the last 10 years and I'm getting the same lecture Al Shepard gave the control room prior to Freedom 7... GEEZ!!!
Can't exactly help it that we've got ANOTHER 2 inches of rain in the last two days! Standing water sorta impedes the process ya know...
Tell you what-- I'll try to get this thing fired off from the Shiner farm the next time I go, if I can't get any dry weather here before then. The rain has the whole place up there grown up 2-3 feet high in grass and weeds that the cows can't keep ahead of, but at least it's dry.
From the sound of the Doc's posts, I can pretty much write off the top stage. The first stage is the detailed on, anyway, so as long as I get that one back, I can write off the top stage-- it's just a typical 4 FNC type upperstage, easily replaced, even having to replace the capsule wouldn't be much work...
I'll see what I can do... I PROMISE GUYS!!! SERIOUSLY!
Look on the bright side-- at least the cows are well fed... that should mean more money for the space program (rocket funds) this fall...
I'll keep yall apprised.... OL JR
