I got up at 1.30 (figuring it'd take him a couple of hours to get up there). It had then been postponed and aborted by the time I woke this morning.
I'd hate to think of the cost of an aborted mission. Without considering the extra infrastructure required, the 1 use only balloon must cost a bomb. They have but one spare on site. Looks like the next possible window will be Thursday their time.
