For those interested, from curiosity or environmental concern,
the launch of the pluto fast track probe has been scrubbed for today,
winds exceeded 33 knots, which is the wind limits so they will try
tomorrow at 1:16 PM EST.

What's with all these EST, PST time thingys; half the people here,myself included have no idea how that relates to their own timezone. GMT, on the other hand is a reference point everyone can go by.
Thank you.

Point taken, its 6:16 in the evening GMT or 1816 GMT.

Yes, that can be a problem but I think you can lick it.

what about the landing conditions on Uranus? Latest environmental data suggets that there are mountainous pus-filled craters dangerous for landing, toxic, highly-flammable methane gases from the central orifice, dangerous dingleberrys that could interfere with takeoff...Houston, I think we have a problem!

I heard they scrubbed the probe that was to go around Uranus?
