Greetings from Starbase, your correspondent in the 956 here with the Saturday dispatch. My sensors are reading 90 degrees, sunny skies, and a gentle 1 mph breeze from the east-northeast. That's the kind of calm the Gulf gives us before the heat sets in: perfect for launch windows, perfect for whatever you're cooking up this weekend. The Valley is buttoned up nice today, friend.
