Ian:
One of my wife's college roommates is an engineer at Orbital Sciences and they're launching a rocket this Friday for an ISS resupply mission.  The launch is scheduled for 1:40pm out of the Wallops Island launch facility on the eastern shore of VA.  So mid-atlantic folks, keep your eye on the Eastern Horizon this Friday if you want to watch it, or Ed, play hooky from work and go to the launch! :)

Sir Douglas:
Cool! Will there be Kerbals on board? ;)

Sir Edward:


Awesome! Yeah, I wish I could play hooky this week, but I don't think that's going to happen.

Hopefully it'll be a completely successful launch, and not your typical Kerbal flight with all the wobbly and explodey stuff. :)

Ian:
Delayed a day to Saturday at 1:14 EDT.  I think they were supposed to roll out the rocket to the pad today but the storm prevented that.

Sir Edward:

Still won't make it. We'll be at a wedding this weekend. Doh!
