SpaceX is scheduled to for lift-off at 4:30pm Eastern time today if weather permits. This is the first time a Spaceship with Astronauts will lift-off from the United States in 9 years.

Here's the link to the NASA YouTube Channel with a live video feed going on right now.




Pilots Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley are GO! for lift off!

Currently this area is experiencing showers and thunderstorms. The last time a spaceship launched from America was the Atlantis Space Shuttle on July 8th, 2011


If you're a person of faith, keep our Astronauts in prayer. If not, maybe cross your fingers.

Glad i did not watch all 3 hours. Going to try again Sat.

Mission is scrubbed due to weather

NASA has re-scheduled for Saturday.


Sitting here at my desk I can hear the thunder as a storm is passing over Stuart. It's just plain nasty outside.

I'm glad they chose to wait for better weather.


Better safe than sorry....

I watched the all mission back in the 60 70. I was all in
now at 63 the earth is flat..
 
Who else is wondering what wax or sealent you would put on that capsul? Now that would be a great durability test.
 
Wow, look at those space suits. Looking a little corporate imo. Did a movie studio design them to match the Tesla interior. Gotta look good for the photo op's!

Next launch maybe there will be corporate advertising on the rocket. Meguiars will surely be the official coating sponsor for SpaceX. I'm sure it's crossed Elon's mind lol.

Back in the day, Blue Coral made a product called AutoFom that they advertised on TV as having the same ingredient as that used to protect the thermal tiles on the Space Shuttle.

I tried it. It provided pretty good protection but was an absolute mother to buff off. That's when I first learned the trick of using a light spritz of water to aid in the process, otherwise you ended up with a smeary mess.
