Title: Anyone else staying awake for the launch? Post by: Vod on December 04, 2014, 09:03:33 AM The new Orion Test Flight is launching at 5am EST.
I'm staying awake for the launch. This is the first step to Mars! http://www.nasa.gov/ Title: Re: Anyone else staying awake for the launch? Post by: b!z on December 04, 2014, 09:18:43 AM Cool, didn't know about this flight test launch before. I'm not sure if it's worth staying up for. You could always watch it on Youtube later. :)

I will be watching from Mars... Title: Re: Anyone else staying awake for the launch? Post by: Vod on December 04, 2014, 12:08:32 PM Liftoff set for 7:17am EST. Edit: Seems like the launch is delayed.... http://www.nasa.gov/ Quote The un-crewed Orion will orbit 3,600 miles above Earth before splashing down in the Pacific. Orion is being designed to carry astronauts on exploration missions into deep space, including a trip to an asteroid and eventually to Mars. Title: Re: Anyone else staying awake for the launch? Post by: Vod on December 04, 2014, 12:39:49 PM Quote Launch is currently on hold. The launch team is working through options for setting a new liftoff time following the violation of ground wind rules. The launch window extends until 9:44 a.m. EST.

I didn't know NASA was still kicking away. This is all news to me.
Vod, you should dress up as a woman with a dress and wave a handkerchief while crying when they launch. Title: Re: Anyone else staying awake for the launch?

Vod, you should dress up as a woman with a dress and wave a handkerchief while crying when they launch. I'm too far away. No cameras around me. :-\ Title: Re: Anyone else staying awake for the launch? Post by: michaeladair on December 04, 2014, 12:49:05 PM Wait. Hold up... I didn't know NASA was still kicking away.

Or not soon enough? Title: Re: Anyone else staying awake for the launch? Post by: Vod on December 04, 2014, 12:50:56 PM Quote Launch is now scheduled for 7:55 a.m. EST. Title: Re: Anyone else staying awake for the launch? Post by: Vod on December 04, 2014, 12:59:56 PM Lol well shit. Have fun with the launch, hopefully it doesn't misfire and blow you up... NASA is known for their "hiccups". You're right - it's on hold again due to wind conditions! :D Quote Today's launch of NASA's new Orion spacecraft on a test flight is on hold due to a wind violation. There are no technical issues. Today's launch window extends until 9:44 a.m. EST. Title: Re: Anyone else staying awake for the launch? Post by: Vod on December 04, 2014, 02:45:46 PM Well, with 175,000 people watching on NASA TV, they cancelled the launch due to high winds. :(
They will try again tomorrow! Title: Re: Anyone else staying awake for the launch? Post by: gabol1 on December 04, 2014, 02:49:50 PM ;D ;D
