Set to go just after 4:30 pm today. Had it on in the background for a couple hours now.

 

First manned launch from American soil since the last shuttle flight in 2011.

 

 

I'm fascinated by this. As a long-time supporter of the space program, I've been waiting a long time for this.

The future is now.

 

 

That's the interface the pilots see in the cockpit. It genuinely feels like real-life has caught up to sci-fi here.

Yes, I saw a story on TV over the weekend with the two astronauts. The reporter commented on the high tech cockpit, monitors, etc.

If the two-part photo I posted shows up, the top one is the screens from the interface on the screen from inside the space shuttle Endeavor. That last launch was only nine years ago.

I've also been watching for the last few hours.

 

Looking forward to launch.

GAHHHH!

 

Scrapped 15 minutes before launch.

 

Bad weather.

I think I saw earlier that the scrub date is May 30.

Scrubbed due to weather...:(

I have been glued to my TV, I guess it is workout time now.

 

And I saw they had a couple of other launch windows this weekend.

I knew that was going to happen. :lol2:

Gonna try again Saturday at 3:22pm.

Of course they were delayed; the astronauts' names are Bob & Doug!

 

Welcome back @Bluto

Hated to see it get scrubbed but a good call, worried about the weather Saturday as well but let’s hope!

You could hear the disappointment in the Weather controllers' voice. But he made the right call.

 

(I'm not sure of the title of the guys responsible for monitoring the weather)
