Where you have fog and mist and tall trees with a solid canopy, you're going to have ferns. And in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties, there's a riot of ferns. Final preparations for Wednesday's liftoff are well underway. The launch vehicle has been fueled and tested. The payload is being assembled for loading, which is expected to take place over the next 48 hours. Final flight plans have been filed and confirmed, and the recovery crews are waiting at the splashdown area, where a special reception will be held on May 3 to celebrate what one hopes will be a successful journey. The major cable networks are not expected to cover Wednesday's launch, however, since there's too many kooky Texas politicians and moronic "tax protests" and White House puppies for any real news to slip through.
