Does it?
They still seem favourable for kennedy.

What is the cost in $$$ at landing at Edwards instead of kennedy? Is this a
factor at all? If the risk is demeed say 1:10,000 chance of weather being a
problem is that acceptable to save millions of dollars?

The weather still looks pretty bad:

It looks worse than during the three previous wave offs.

And I've given up propping my eyelids open with toothpicks
and am going to bed. I doubt we'll see much at Edwards
this time of night.
