Just out of interest, how powerful are the winds to be a violation?
Wind limits are 21kts
21 Knots according to the commentary on the live video feed.
Right now the wind is on 10.5 m/s (meters/second).
Go Orion! Fly the US back to cutting edge space exploration.

THESE BOATS ARE BECOMING A REAL PROBLEM
Sitting out here on a drill ship in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico waiting see a successful launch. I know it will be because my name is on that chip she’s carrying!!
The limit is 21 knots.
I’m anxiously watching from Brazil.
NASA EL ESPACIO Y LA HUMANIDAD ESPERA ESTE MOMENTO TODO VA A SALIR BIEN YO HE MADRUGADO Y ESPERO EL GO BUEN TRABAJO AMIGOS.
Watching NASA tv, countdown just stopped again due to wind.
Just can’t believe that 20-25 mph winds can delay a launch …wow…amazing that such light winds could affect such a massive rocket
