Possibly Historic Falcon 9/Dragon Launch Today
GO FOR LAUNCH. Officials have approved plans to launch the Falcon 9 rocket tomorrow morning. The launch window opens at 9 a.m. EST and closes at 12:22 p.m. EST (1400-1722 GMT)
The launch will be webcast live from http://www.spacex.com/webcast.php beginning 45 min prior to launch. It will also be webcast live from http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html starting at 3:30am PST, as well on the NASA tv channel on cable/satellite. Live updates will be streaming from Twitter (http://twitter.com/SpaceXer), Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/SpaceX), and SpaceFlightNow (http://www.spaceflightnow.com/falcon9/002/status.html) If the launch is anything like last time, the SpaceX feed was choppy and cutting out, so the NASA tv might be a little better. Its also possible that some of the major networks will be broadcasting the launch live on the morning news programs but I'm not sure. Stay tuned and hopefully see SpaceX make history! |

I'm waiting on my dock to watch this. It is cold and I hope it goes off soon.

Great launch, not the shuttle but still cool.
The rocket is expected to be a cheaper replacement for the shuttle. It will be able to take people and equipment to the space station at a fraction of the cost of the shuttle (still in the billions though).

...and the company that built and launched it is a private company, not NASA. Same guy that co-founded PayPal founded SpaceX.
