well, that's par for the course. better to make sure everything is nominal than launch with questions. shows good launch discipline.

this thread hasn't really taken off but in December, the first launch of NASA's new Orion space capsule is slated to happen... This is a test mission (unmanned) that will put Orion into a higher than normal earth orbit to test the heat shield as it enters the atmosphere at a greater speed (among a host of other things.

Orion will normally be launched with NASA's new "OMG MEGAROCKET" SLS (attn: Wraith) but this will be launched on a Delta IV heavy, which is our current largest rocket in the "fleet."

Tried to launch one this past weekend but was unsuccessful. Next time I will bring extra name brand batteries with me because I suspect that was the issue .

the mission was delayed due to weather. shooting for around a 2am launch this evening.

1:52am to be exact. i believe it is an instantaneous launch window (meaning if the don't launch exactly on schedule it will get bumped to a later time/date... this is due to the alignment of the space station.)

The rocket launch looked nominal... there was an awesome view... they had a camera INSIDE of the liquid oxygen tank that showed the fluid moving around in microgravity...

here are some highlights showing the LOX sloshing around...

My cousin is big into rocket launching. He goes to conventions and everything.
