    Kind of disappointed there wasn't one final literally last second delay, would have been perfect given the history of this telescope. I'll settle for a successful launch instead, though!

      I'm surprised it could launch with so many clouds. It seems like most have great atmospheric conditions and those were low enough to be storm clouds.
