Manned Space Launch on April Fools Day when Trump is president?

What could go wrong? I really hope the crew will be safe if the launch is a go.

1. Looks like at the very least the weather in Florida will be cooperating.

That ugly bastard doesn't have anything to do with this event, thankfully. I wish a safe trip to the astronauts. The launch window is 6:24-8:24 PM. I'll be watching online. I hear that Couchboy may make an appearance. Hopefully he'll be ignored.

2. Maybe they're planning to launch HIM into space

as an April Fools prank.

this guy isn’t part of the crew

7. Makes a good double feature with

The Incredible Mr. Limpet.

5. I'm really nervous about this one. A few weeks ago, I read an item about people connected to the building of

the craft and they were concerned about the heat shield tiles and more concerned that they weren't being listened to. I hope whatever it was has been remedied.

6. With an undertaking this complicated and intense there are always concerns.

But behind the scenes you can rest assured that everything possible is done to test all parts of the spacecraft. My son is a software engineer on the Artemis program at KSC, and his group will be conducting a synchronized simulation in the room next to the launch team's. Prior to today, they have been doing periodic simulations throughout the year. I spoke to him last night and he said his biggest worry is that he'll be able to get through the traffic jam to get to work today.
