I like to “hate” anything that does not start from Florida! LOL
My husband and I watched the last launch late night. This is early enough that our son could see it. He is scared. But we’re going to just take him out to see it. The other was really cool so this should be neat.
Upper east Tenn - we have some clouds out there. Does not bode well.
Thirty-five years ago I was on a southbound flight from the Bay Area to LA at dusk, inland from the coast, when Vandenberg AFB shot off the most awe-inspiring sight one could see. The pilot came on the intercom to alert us and said it was only the second one he had seen. He gave us altitude estimates as it rose: 10,000’, 100,000’, etc. Everyone on the left side of the plane skootched to the right at once to see it—LOL.
Does anyone have info on where to find out the exact time of launch? The NASA website, maybe?

My link in header not so good. Try this
More goodies to spy on us with.

Well, the husband and I is will be watching in the clear, cool night here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
Oops! The husband was just checking the website, and it looks like the launch will be delayed by about 1/2 hour or more.
T minus one hr and holding for a problem with down range tracking.
Students at a local science and technology high school have worked on this project for 8 years, I read.
Why launch so far North without the benefit of Equatorial larger angular momentum?
Nasa is another civilian force boondogle. Government space program should be under the military.
NASA, another big socialist sucubus.
Man, awesome! I saw that baby go up UP UP!
A tower of flame right into outer space.
The blinking blue lights were an interesting
addition, never saw those before.

As mentioned earlier today, a satellite built by students from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology will be launched into orbit today by NASA. You can watch the launch live on FCPS Red Apple Channel 21 on Cox, Comcast, and Verizon FIOS cable channels beginning at 6:30 p.m. EST, courtesy of NASA TV. If you do not have cable TV you can watch the launch on channel 21 live online by going to
