Not launch day!!!

Turns out it wasn't a launch after all.  The balloon was about to be laid out on the pad.  ANITA was ready to get attached.  The weather was so perfect even the weatherman couldn't stop us.

But then a hard drive in the SIP (support instrumentation package) failed.  So after a day of hoping, waiting, watching the goings on and of taking photos of ANITA, we'll have to wait until tomorrow to (hopefully) launch the balloon.

Fingers crossed again.  And a 4am start.
