Launch Delayed Till Saturday

Well we were all set to launch today, however we were not able to gain access to the launch site we found previously. We contemplated launching in a much smaller field however we determined that the risk of loosing the rocket was not worth it and that a days delay would not be a big deal. We took the time to test the times once more as well as do a bit of preventative maintenance on our compressors. They are cheep compressors and the crank shaft has a bit of a tendency to pop off the axle while the compressors are running. We were able to add a retaining pin to help keep it on and are hoping that it stays. I guess we will find out tomorrow!
