Space X/NASA launch

[clonedude]

Can’t wait for this today.

Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

I’m excited about the new public/private partnership model they’ve gone with.

They're lighting that baby at 3:30 Iowa time, correct?

 

[Farnsworth]

Don't f this up weather! Should be interesting, hope it goes perfectly.

 

[ArgentCy]

Yes. If it gets snubbed for today, it will be moved to Saturday

Nothing.

Yep. They would be better off moving it up b4 noon, right?

I know they can’t do that though.

 

[Gonzo]

Here is the SpaceX link

And the NASA link

The entire rocket and capsule was made by SpaceX, Elon’s company.

Sounds like they will be basically running the show, with NASA only providing the launch site and will be there for backup as well.

Musk does admit he would have never gotten to this point without the help from NASA though.... mostly financial help.

If weather is looking iffy, what are the other launch windows?

 

[clonedude]

If weather is looking iffy, what are the other launch windows?

Saturday. If not Saturday, then Sunday.

Weather isn’t looking great for those days either though.

Have they even tested this configuration yet, or did I just miss the tests?

Yes. They’ve sent this capsule to the space station empty, but only once I believe?

No, they just rolled it out and said **** it lets put some people on top and see what happens.

Sad emoji, it's way over cooked. What's wrong with you people.
