Countdown at T-00:09:00 and holding.

Tune in to follow the launch from NASA TV if you're interested.

Weather conditions seem to be within limits and there seems to be no technical difficulties this time, so it's looking good.

Saw the launch, looked very cool. As always 

[Shade]

I hope they don't retire those things before I get a chance to visit florida and see a launch in person.

[Bobboau]

I hope they do retire them before they all explode

[Mobius]

Let's hope this time we wont see a tragedy...
Wasn't another type of spaceship being created,called Orion?

[Bobboau]

well there was the old Orion Nuclear rocket, but I think your refering to the new iddy biddy space capsule that looks like it came out of the 1950s

[Nuke]

so did it blow up or not?

[Rictor]

Not as far as I know. Though reports of a possible hijacking by Martians are still unconfirmed.

Calling a capsule Orion, quite odd.

[Getter Robo G]

Yes due to Nasa Naming conventions (and the last rocket series was called Saturn I think) hopefully we can skip ahead through the Neptune series and won't meet life forms until the next one...

  Would be funny as hell (but migh start an inter-galactic war) if the Earth Captain (A guy with really cool hair named Frye) initiates first contact with:

(Note this is what they HEAR)...
"Greetings enlightened sentients, this is YOUR ANUS TOO! (Uranus 2)"


Alien double takes for a second then whispers: "Bob, charge the Blackhole Cannon... Fire!"


 

[Mobius]

However only an Italian could call a capsule Orion.In a very popular language,similar to the word for b**l(s).
