Default Thurs, 12/4, Rocket Launch 7:05 am

Just a heads up for you early risers, there is an Orion rocket launch scheduled at 7:05 am Thursday from cape Canaveral. Just after sunrise. As of 6:15, it is still a go.

It is overcast in the Springdale area so I doubt I will get to watch it. I will give it a try.

Looking out my window, it is a beautiful, foggy morning on the Orange Blossom Country Club golf course. I am going to go out and look up anyway.

According to channel 6, the launch is on hold due to a boat and rocket problems. The launch window is for 2.5 hours as of 7:05.

Delayed for now, a boat was in the range area. Yep, heavy ground fog here, may not see much. Waiting for an updated launch time.

It's overcast here on the beach also. Doubt if anyone will have a decent view.

I hope it launches today, but it's been fun watching Orlando Channel 6 with live updates. It reminds me of the early days when everyone stopped what they were doing and watched the launches. This is an historical mission and is very exciting for the future of space exploration. Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten it was today.
