This a built in hold to check the weather at the Cape and elsewhere in case of emergency. Spain is clear and is the preferred emergency landing spot.
Years ago I was there to see an Endeavor launch. Got a fabulous VIP tour and still treasure the moment we were bused out to the launch pad at 3am in the morning to take pictures of the Shuttle. Mother nature wouldn't play ball that day so I wasn't able to stay to see the launch which took place days later. However, just to see where the likes of Gordo Cooper, John Glenn, Robert Crippin and Sally Ride created history was a special journey
