What’s wrong with this picture?

What’s wrong with this picture indeed…

This picture was taken early this afternoon, looking out the hanger/warehouse/workshop where we’ve headquartered and are putting together all our stuff.  Outside this building is the Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave desert.  This is June.  It is supposed to be bright and sunny.  Instead it’s overcast and there is a forecast of rain.

Unfortunately, it has cancelled any chance we had of doing a test flight tomorrow.  This means that this testflight will happen, at the earliest, on Wednesday.  This also means that an already tight schedule has gotten even tighter.

I’m VERY GLAD that the NASA people here are truly a ‘can do’ crowd.  They want to make this happen and are pulling out all the stops to do so.  So, being late will be a problem, not a potential disaster.

    Yeah, we’ve been having weird weather lately. Usually it’s killer hot and dry, but it’s been nice lately. Luckily it was cloudy (so no sun to my un-sunglasses-protected eyes) and cool (so no overheating in that gown) for my high school graduation.
