    They might have a problem there with the funny orange cover thing, Houston :D

    With a multi million rocket, its the rope that fails...

    lucky me- I tuned in just in time!
  • sinclairsinclair Ranger
    I think you missed the part when they successfully managed to remove the funny orange cover thing. :/

    The mission control applauded like they had just landed on Mars or something.

    It's amazing how many parameters they have to track. I'm surprised they get the camel through the key hole at all. :D

    It would already be in the air if it wasn't for that ship wandering into the restricted zone an hour ago.
  • DaxDax Redshirt
    Yeah true, too bad launch scrubbed though :(
  • Entil'ZhaEntil'Zha I see famous people
    Stupid weather!

  • DaxDax Redshirt
    anyone else watching? looks like they are early
  • Entil'ZhaEntil'Zha I see famous people
    I'm watching, i don't think i's going to be going up till at least 9. looks like weather is still red, and they have some other issues to work out.

  • C_MonC_Mon A Genuine Sucker
    so what's the news? when will it go?
  • Entil'ZhaEntil'Zha I see famous people
    Current launch is scheduled for 9:15am, but the weather officer says that 10:30 or later is more likely.
  • StingrayStingray Elite Ranger
    That's unless a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnat"]gnat[/URL] farts and the launch will be scrubbed yet again. :D
  • Entil'ZhaEntil'Zha I see famous people
    11am now the scheduled launch time..
  • C_MonC_Mon A Genuine Sucker
    damn weather, we should live on the moon with no weather.
  • Entil'ZhaEntil'Zha I see famous people
    No doubt, plus we'd have to expend much less fuel to reach escape velocity..

    11:18 current launch time
  • DaxDax Redshirt
    11:26 picking up 4min count to launch at 11:30EST
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>

  • DaxDax Redshirt

  • C_MonC_Mon A Genuine Sucker

    Boom, soundbarrier!
  • StingrayStingray Elite Ranger
    Beautiful shot. :) You can see it carries a small rescue rocket at the tip. It will be more useful once the Ares is manned by a crew. :D

    Apparently the shuttle Atlantis is launching today! It's last mission of the year. [URL="http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2009/11/16/space-shuttle-atlantis.html?ref=rss"]Linky[/URL]
