"We've picked a good day, haven't we? The 'Meihua' just passed."
"Meihua has passed, but the Meteorological Bureau forecast that 'Miaobai' is coming soon. For the next month, our launch schedule can only be taken as a reference, even a seven-day forecast might not be accurate."
At the Qiongzhou Launch Site, two staff members of the Launch Management Bureau were preparing the launch procedures for the New Yuan No. 3 rocket, while discussing the bad news from the Meteorological Bureau.
Today was the day the second living module of the Forward Space Station was set to launch. The launch date had been set a month ago, but it wasn't until last night's final downpour had passed that the air still smelled damp with the rain's aftermath.
To avoid a typhoon's surprise attack, the assembly building of the No. 3 rocket had opened in the middle of the night to push the rocket to the launch position. The refueling was not completed until six in the morning.
