T-minus 29 Minutes

Boeing's Delta 4 Heavy is scheduled to lift off at 4:31 EST. Should be exciting. This thing can lift 14 tons into orbit.

Who needs a webcast when you can go outside and watch it?

Oh, that's right, only I can do that. Ha!

Missed a launch last week (at like 5am, bah to getting up that early) but I caught a night one a month ago that was cool. It was a little cloudy, but still lit up the night sky.

Sweet...thanks for the link. I would have missed this one.

WRXbluJ · 12-21-2004, 04:34 PM

Kinda cloudy over here, dont know if I will see it or not (probably a litte). But this is turning out to be a great team building event for us... (hanging around outside, staring at the sky - putting off work)

Kaiser · 12-21-2004, 04:39 PM

It's 4:38pm; why's it say t-minus 5 mins?

EDIT: Nevermind, something's happening now. Sounds like the final 5min countdown's about to start.

Kaiser · 12-21-2004, 04:46 PM

3 min bump.

westphalia · 12-21-2004, 04:53 PM

"we have had an anomoly" I think that's called an explosion.

G*(%*%*T fu5(%*%*.

I went back downstairs after it was temporarily postponed, not knowing what was going on. Actually had to do work for 10mins then turn around to find out I missed it (our area has 0 windows and I have to walk about 100yds to get to the closest one).

That pisses me off.
