I wondered that last time (OFT-1), but if so it was never removed. It does remind me of the blue film over glass/plexi. Spoiler (should have PSed the NASA meatball in as well) Looks like if liftoff is on schedule, return might be May 25th here at White Sands... was thinking about driving down. Or making my son drive to get his hours in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there is any duct tape rated for hydraulics. That’s a lot of pressure. But I could be wrong… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
