They are going to test the adhesion of the cork today by fillingh the tenk and then if it holds they will try to launch Sunday night around 10:43 or 11:26 PM EDT. They only have windows till July 15th.
I wish they would take the risk of launching, otherwise it will just become a museum piece.

It would seem the next window for this launch wouldn't be 2 years from now but 4 years without a much larger launcher...
