Crew press conference now in progress. Bad weather could delay the landing at KSC or cause a change of landing site to Edwards.

1st KSC Landing attempt ordered a NOGO due to crosswinds.
2nd KSC Landing attempt less likely than the first.

According to commentator  KSC is preferred to EDW, even if it means waving off today altogether.

Quick question:  If they close the doors, does that mean they are landing today?  I was just wondering how they can wait until tomorrow with the doors closed.  They have a closed cooling system don't they.
