Good To Go, Weather Permitting

Spacers Quickie
Ares I-X has been cleared for its planned Tuesday launch attempt after a Flight Test Readiness Review by NASA managers, but the weather forecast is looking a little dodgy, with only a 40 percent chance of favorable conditions expected.

Since this is a test flight, NASA wants to gather as much data from the launch as possible, so clear skies have been mandated. If Tuesday is a bust, another attempt will be made on Wednesday.
