Launch is pretty iffy. There's only a 30% chance WX will allow it. Tomorrow morning 1126EDT. Real curious about the water tank venting. I've not seen that before.

Here's one quick one; not real pleased with my closeup results. Will look at them closer when I get a chance. Working on laptop in back of car at the NASA Press Site at the moment and hard to see the laptop screen real well with all the glare.

Spectacular shot there, OP. What's the deal with the tower, on the right? Some sort of cooling mechanism?
