[The rocket, a small 'trainer' model, was wheeled out last friday, spent Saturday and part of Sunday undergoing systems checks, and was fueled this morning. Around noon, the last of the fuel trucks pulled away from the pad and the various tie-downs and umbilicals start to detatch. Communications plugs, fuel lines, one by one, they begin to unplug and fall away from the body of the rocket as the countdown continues. At this distance, it's hard to tell that anything is going on.

Unless, of course, you're following Jeb's updates.]


T-10 minutes, all communications tests complete.
