The reasoning is instead of taking it offline for two years and spending a lot of money to return it to flight when it probably would fly only one time at the most, why spend...

We anticipate we’ll have a much better shot at getting off the ground, as far as weather is concerned.

We’re not going to do anything that will prevent any additional work in that area. It’s possible the tank will be ready to fly as-is, depending on what the program decides.

The communications links went down simultaneously.

They’ll stand at the fence and look at the ship that will take them into space. It’s an awesome thing.

That is just something we deal with in this business. We have to have good weather and if it’s not good we will not launch. We needed good weather and we’re just not going to...

We have ignition and liftoff of NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft on a decade long voyage to visit the planet Pluto and then beyond.

Right now we have work to keep everybody busy and, in fact, we might see additional work coming to KSC.

They’re looking at all sorts of possibilities, and it’s much too early to determine how this is all going to fall out. Our prime concern is the employees and their situation in the aftermath of...

Both the primary and backup were lost simultaneously.

The five solid rocket boosters are burning just fine, sending the New Horizons spacecraft on its way to the very edge of our solar system.

There is not much margin to get (the satellites) in the exact orbit we want it to be. It’s an instantaneous launch window — either you go or don’t go.

The winds must be in limits at that point to not risk damage to the vehicle during its most fragile point in the flight.

The winds were just too strong and they kept us on the ground today.
