The Orion spacecrafts initial launch was supposed to be today, but after wind delays and some technical issues, it was scrubbed. The Launch is scheduled for tomorrow at 7:05am EST. I wasnt alive to see The Apollo space program, But I find this to be very exciting :woot:. Orion will be the next spacecraft to possibly take us to Mars. The amount of engineering that went into this spacecraft is phenomenal!

Watch NASA live (They have interesting programs from time to time)

Side Note, If you do intend to watch the launch NASA tv tends to get bogged down very quickly.

Sorry for the weather delays. I hope you don't miss your flight.
Can you live for one year on airplane food and peanuts?

lol
 
I remember going out to try and see the last but never saw it . Only to findout later it blow up. Do you think we can see this launch?
 
Overclocked: You really should look at the Saturn V and remember it was built between 1968 and 1972. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_V

I did see live lift offs on TV as well as the moon landing on TV.

I've seen the Apollo capsule up close and personal in a museum. I've been to three: Cape Canaveral, FL; , Smithsonian in Washington DC and the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Virginia. To dwarf that, Kitty Hawk, N.C. What I remember most about that trip were the size of the flies (insects) and their bites.
 
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER -- Atop the most powerful rocket available, NASA's next generation space capsule Orion blasted off Friday morning against the backdrop of a rising sun at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and later landed with a "bull's-eye splashdown" in the Pacific Ocean.

Yay, it worked. :)

I did not get to see if I could see it. I was on my way to work.:(
