@SciGuySpace Upper level winds look good. Look at the jet stream forecast. I used to use the USF model in the past to predict launches (and my time off!). https://t.co/vR5H9KRhFE

@elonmusk Used Starlink Mini deep in the Idaho panhandle. Kept in touch with my daughter, work, etc. Best thing is, if there is an emergency I could contact help. Set up? 5 minutes. Easy with the Starlink app.
