Want to watch a smoking rocket

[HobbyProggy]

currently it's quite boring as i can see a rocket between 2 eiffel towers stolen from Paris :doh:

if(this.signature != "") { MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature); } else { MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found"); }

"Today's launch of NASA's new Orion spacecraft is now scheduled for 8:26 a.m. EST. The launch window extends until 9:44 a.m. EST. The un-crewed Orion will orbit 3,600 miles above Earth before splashing down in the Pacific " Didn't the US already get past this stage about 50 years ago? ;)

Sign a petition calling for the boycott of Israel until it returns to its legal 1967 borders.

Wait no... launch window opens at 7:05 US East Time? i still see the rocket on the ground :doh:

if(this.signature != "") { MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature); } else { MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found"); }

Maybe unless you believe those who believe the whole moon thing was staged in a studio. :)

Can't help feeling that the name Orion is a throw back to the Nuclear powered Rocket from the '60s, it such a waste that the Apollo was binned totally, the US lost it's way after the moon missions (didn't say landings as it could cause a flame war). Off topic but have you read the Andy Weir book The Martian?

"I propose we disable the warning light and that I monitor the situation myself" Niiiicceee!!!!

I'd rather be phishing!

[glennPattonPub]

is that Nasa's way of commenting out an error message that pops up all the time that you can't work out why? :wtf:

[Maximilien]

Well, that was fun. See y'all tomorrow!

Dang! I want to see it go!

Looks like someone gave up smoking :)

You have to admit it was dispointing :( , with Orion the US can take the lead again in planetary exploration, which looks to a chance to beat China/India moon missions ('Moon been there, played a round of golf there!'). I just wish those in power would see the benefits, I mean the UK's space program was abandoned as money saving just when it was starting to bear fruit!

Hi, I agree with you it was a disappointment today but I hope we see smoking rockets again tomorrow :-D, and hopefully a successful launce of Orion :thumbsup:
