I just want to give everyone a heads up on something coming up quick
I've recently been invited to the media events and launch of the SpaceX CRS-6 cargo resupply flight to the International Space Station at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. I will still be working via laptop while away, so my presence will still be felt, just not at its maximum capacity for about a week. The launch was originally scheduled for the 9th, but has been postponed, so I may be gone a little longer than anticipated if it is delayed again
Liftoff is now scheduled for at 4:33 p.m. EST on April 13th. The two day event April 12/13 will provide the opportunity to tour NASA facilities at Kennedy Space Center, meet and interact with engineers, technicians and other team members from Kennedy, view and take photographs of SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on the launch pad, meet fellow space enthusiasts who are active on social media, meet members of NASA's social media teams, and hopefully view the launch of SpaceX Falcon 9
Just wanted to put this out there in advance so everyone knew why my responses may be delayed for a week in the near future. I'll try to nudge ThePeePs and Mortimer into the threads while I'm gone to keep up with any issues. Both of them are more than capable of fixing anything that comes up in my limited availability during that week
Of course, I will be rocking the GorillaStake gear the whole time and doing my best to mingle with the writers, bloggers, and journalists present during breaks, lunches, bus rides, etc. I will also be taking massive amounts of pictures and videos to share with you guys since I know a lot of you are as into space and science as I am. More than anything, though, I'm going to nerd out hard and could not be more excited to see this tremendous event. I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain they are going for a barge landing with this launch, as well, so everyone hop on Twitter and wish them luck
For the most up to date information and posts from me while I'm away, please follow me on
Twitter (@PurePoS), as internet will be limited at Kennedy since we will be all over the place and not just in one building the whole time
