Sox lost and Celtics lost (ROBBED), if Falcon doesn't get off the pad it will be a pretty sad day. ;)

Go SpaceX!  The last time I felt this way was in April 1981.  Go baby go.

I just realized that if this launch succeeds this will be the first launch I have ever seen in action!  :o
Darn it where is my Moon base!

Jim, Chris installed this nice petting zoo for the fan boys.

It's like space.com forum all over again in here. :)

Considering your allergic reaction to incorrect maybe you should just skip this thread

Far from it.  for example, Viking on Mars in '76 was a bigger event

Best of luck... I'll be cheering them on!

I'm saving the real celebration once it is in orbit. :)

It not about the Rocket launch to the ISS.
It's about the party. :)

Don't get me wrong.  I hope they are successful and the ISS needs them to be.  And it will help add another rocket to NASA's catalog.  Also, I agree it is historic, but it is no where close to the top of the list.

EDIT:  Message removed due to personal policy:  no posting while intoxicated.

EDIT2:  To clarify, I'd been celebrating a major (and heretofore elusive) milestone in my Ph.D. research.  Not directly related to SpaceX, but I was hoping for a twofer.  Oh well...

My local time for launch is downright civilized.. coverage starts at 5:30pm.

Sure hope SpaceX sticks with this time for future launches. ;)

Might as well stake out an area for it ahead of time.  Otherwise it'll be impossible to navigate the update thread(s)...

I'll be cheering from Oregon! Good luck to SpaceX, and cheers to Chris and Crew for this site. I've been a member for seven years and have really enjoyed watching it grow!
