Nzoner's Game Room>Space Exploration megathread
DaFace 09:40 AM 06-01-2014
Since a number of cool things are happening in space exploration these days, we'll widen the scope of this thread a smidge. Conversation about all things space exploration are welcome, whether it be from NASA, SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, or anyone else. Chances are most of the discussion will still be about SpaceX since they love to make things public and fun, but nothing's off limits. I'll eventually get around to modifying the OP to include resources for other companies too, but in the meantime, feel free to post any cool stuff you run across.

Looks like they're worried about wind shear and are waiting it out.

Though reports are saying that its for more favorable winds and not anything mechanical.

Now 3:05 EST. Looking like it could get scrubbed by the wind forecasts.

Man...it'll be disappointing if we get scrubbed for weather, of all things. I expected some weird thing to go wrong in the process, but weather was looking good for today.

Yeah. I'm personally worried about the fuel load. Simultaneously loading multiple tanks has to up the difficulty quite a bit.

Looks like the wind has died down enough...

Prop load is starting, so they're at least gonna TRY and get it off today at 3:45pm Eastern.

I've heard that PBS may be covering it, but I can't say for sure. Your best bet is at the link in the OP.
