Hello all,

No doubt due to the weather delays that have repeatedly postponed the
latest Delta Iridium launch out of Vandenberg (now scheduled for early
Wednesday morning, 18 February), the previously scheduled
Minuteman III test launch has slipped two days:

WAS:

  FEB 18   00:01-06:01 PST  Minuteman III  ICBM test launch

NOW:

  FEB 20   00:01-06:01 PST  Minuteman III  ICBM test launch

Weather permitting (hah!) this should be a nice sight from the west
coast.

As for the planned Iridium launch tomorrow morning, as of 4:45pm PST
Tuesday 17 Feb, weather looks promising for launch.  The launch
hotline says there's only a 10% chance of scrub due to weather.  --Rob
