Get ready for some (possibly) explosive action... :) The maiden flight of the Falcon 9 rocket from SpaceX occurs at 11:00 a.m. Eastern this morning at Cape Canaveral. The live feed from SpaceX's website begins at 10:40 a.m. Eastern and can be found only (not at spacevidcast or uStream) here... SpaceX webcast Weather is a 60% go. Considering the fact that most maiden launches end in failure, be prepared! - Luke. |

Get ready for some (possibly) explosive action... :) Hopefully It'll fly right and not go BOOM. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

I still wish Obama didn't cancel Project Constellation. That had vision, a goal and something to aspire to! I agree Luke. |

I still wish Obama didn't cancel Project Constellation. That had vision, a goal and something to aspire to! I second that, But in any case SpaceX does deserve a launch and hopefully It won't be a disaster. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

I still wish Obama didn't cancel Project Constellation. That had vision, a goal and something to aspire to! Ugh. It's 3:30 am here, and I haven't had any sleep. I don't know if I can stay up much longer. - Luke. |

I still wish Obama didn't cancel Project Constellation. That had vision, a goal and something to aspire to! And the hold keeps getting longer too. |

I still wish Obama didn't cancel Project Constellation. That had vision, a goal and something to aspire to! Nearly an hour into the hold. Watching the stream at spacex.com, the quality is marginally better and about 4 seconds ahead of SVC.com. I'll give it another 30 minutes. - Luke. |

I still wish Obama didn't cancel Project Constellation. That had vision, a goal and something to aspire to! Hour and a half in to the hold. Good night Luke. |

I'd hate to bear that responsibility Vic!Yeah I know, Me neither. I'm just waiting here for some work to be done on the house on Monday and for a possible small check$25 from an VA/ALS(Duke University) study I participated in to come My way, Then I can sell the GTX295 and get My 1st of 5(maybe) Monsta Lite 420/360 Radiators for the PC and the triple 470 video card cooling, All I have to have is the money, But that will come with time and I've got lots of time. :D It would be nice If I could also get one of these too, But their about $197.95 to My place, So I have to choose, lovely.

I don't think I've seen them on the roads over there. Eric and I drove a Smurf blue mighty-mighty Escort around for years! We bought it used and ran that little car around until it could not be resurrected. It got us from point A to point B with great mileage and low maintenance costs, which is pretty much what I go for in a car... |

I don't think I've seen them on the roads over there. I go for cars that return good mileage now due to the prohibitive cost of fuel over here. I drive a Toyota Prius, which is exactly what I have booked for over there next week too! |
