[Chaos-l] solid rocket booster recovery ships put to sea

[Terry Crook]

The Freedom Star showed up earlier tonight, not far from shore altho' 
two objects were indicated.
Now, 10:20 pm EDT, nothing is indicated!
Out of range? I expanded out to include far out to sea (all of Florida 
shown as well as ~six times it's width to the east)!
"No targets shown"

All action at the Cape is still on "scheduled hold" until 11 hrs before 
launch, apparently.

Taurus Terry in Chapel Hill
35° 55' 47"N, 79° 01' 00"W
