(They will keep the expensive spacecraft inside a building. The building is on the opposite side of the state from the side the hurricane is hitting, and it will lose strength. They have through first week of November to launch. Spacecraft is fine. I’m more worried about people.)

Super excited for the launch of Europa Clipper on Thurs... um.... where exactly is that hurricane headed? Oh shit. Stay safe little spacecraft and all of the people who have gone to watch the launch.
