Big news today launching from the cape.... Around 903AM!

From the discovery news:
SpaceX plans to launch its first Dragon capsule on a test flight for NASA as early as Wednesday. NASA wants to turn over cargo runs to the International Space Station to SpaceX and a second firm, Orbital Sciences Corp., beginning next year after the space shuttles are retired.



Pics from WDW please please!!!

Meh? 9:03am? I apologize by my disinterest, but me thinks, besides the fact that WDW is seventy miles away, most people will be in line to grab Fastpasses for Mania.

This is true, but hey, there's many many people in the world. This is a huge step for private space travel, (I.E. Mission Space Fans....it could be real one day!) and there is a big potential for things to go wrong with this unmanned capsule. Either way, a perspective from WDW would be excellent! Have you ever seen pics of the space shuttle launching from WDW....it's like the combination of two amazing things!

I would go and get you a picture but it's too cold. It's now scheduled for 10:43 but the launch window is open for quite sometime if it gets aborted/delayed again.
