MISSION CONTROL: Discovery, Houston with a question. EILEEN COLLINS: And we hope we have an answer, go ahead. MISSION CONTROL: All right Eileen, how do you feel about a beautiful clear night with a breeze down the runaway in the high desert of California? COLLINS: We are ready for whatever we need to do. MISSION CONTROL: OK, that's gonna be our plan, what we had is continued instability at the Cape just within the last 15 minutes or so, we had a couple of other small cells popping up around 15 to 20 miles, they basically came out of nowhere. They were just off the coastline and growing, predicted to have some lighting activity here shortly, so the official forecast is holding electrified, clouds off the coast of the Cape, which is not going to send you through. So would like to, for now you can just hold where you are on the checklist, we gonna think about the best way to get into a good config for Edwards, and we'll get back to you shortly with a TIG. How, copy. COLLINS: We copy all, we'll hold right here and we've been thinking about Edwards, so we'll be ready for that. MISSION CONTROL:Great_
