Fwd: CRMRC January 2011 Launch Decision

[Lentamental]

Looks like it is confirmed as saturday, so we can do this. Also possibly moved back to 11am instead of 10, which is nice. They are still waiting a little longer to get a more accurate weather prediction, but it looks good. Lets get Oops 1 ready to go!

Okay Everyone,

Based on the weather for the upcoming weekend, it is likely that we are going to launch on Saturday. This is not a firm commit as of yet. You will have to wait another 12 hours for that.
The forecast right now is -11F at 0900 with 9mph winds. Does anyone have any issues if we delay starting setup to 1100 to wait for the temperature and sun to rise (predicted temp is a whopping -8F)?

We would still go to the Bayside afterward, just later.

Quoting Howard Druckerman <dh46...@myfairpoint.net>:

Rocketeers,

Two regular fliers have already told me they can not make the third weekend this
month (1/15 or 1/16) and would prefer if I can move it to the following weekend
(1/22 or 1/23).
Since two fliers who show up is a large percentage of how many people show up
for a winter launch, I at least want to ask other fliers what their preference
is.
So if you have a preference, please let me know.
