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/

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. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Cool. I'm awake because I can't fall asleep, but this makes my night more interesting.

76,000 105,000 130,000 140,000 people now watching... Liftoff set for 7:17am EST. Edit: Seems like the launch is delayed.... http://www.nasa.gov/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.

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.

Wait. Hold up... 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.

You're right - it's on hold again due to wind conditions! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) 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.

Well, with 175,000 people watching on NASA TV, they cancelled the launch due to high winds. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) They will try again tomorrow!
