Flight Test 6 Reset to Tuesday

Flight test 6 has been reset 24 hours to Tuesday.  As before, the launch window begins a 5:00 PM ET, and lasts 30 minutes.  As always, subject to change.   

Since Thursday's update, they completed stacking Ship 31 on booster 13, making this stack either 3113 or1331, depending on whether you think top down or bottoms up.  The Flight Termination Systems (explosives) have been installed, and preparations for launch have been proceeding. Safety regulations restrict the number of people who can be working on the vehicle at one time, and that everyone working on it to have some special certifications.

Reports are going around that the ship and booster for flight test 7 have been chosen and are going to be ready almost immediately.

A little more detail on my favorite image of the last week:

And if you're within a few years of my age, you'll remember a song by English artist Donovan called "Mellow Yellow".  Sort of a nonsense lyrics song, full lyrics here. Since seeing this image a verse from that song has been stuck in my head and it had to be modified.  It started as:

Electrical banana

Is gonna be a sudden craze

Electrical banana

Is bound to be the very next phase

They call it mellow yellow

(Quite rightly)

They call me mellow yellow

(Quite rightly)

and it has morphed into 

Anthropomorphic banana

Is gonna be a sudden craze

Anthropomorphic banana

Is bound to be the very next phase

Yeah, electrical has four syllables while anthropomorphic has five, but if you say "anthropo" really fast, it kinda fits.
