Yeah, lacking a funny title name, but nothing really worked without threatening to sound flippant about how important this mission is.
And with that....Party thread!
You know the deal. For chat, but it needs to be about this mission. Remember to pick your thread wisely.

I don't know why but I'm about as excited for this mission as any, ever. Go Orbital!

So ready for this launch! Cygnus along with SpaceX's Dragon is an important part of ISS cargo delivery. So I'm really excited to see Cygnus' trial run.

Me too! Felt kinda sad that I had to note that the potential of the forum going to members only (no guests) was less likely than for the Cassiope launch, although I know that's a "new" rocket, that's been hyped up a lot, etc.
I hope there's a lot of interest in this ORB-D mission and I'm sure there will be.
Really nice company to deal with. Very professional and friendly.

Two Orbital employees liked Kegger or the beer keg analogy... Just saying.

SpaceX and Soyuz bring the gumdrops to the party, but Orbital brings the French made wine barrel back to the ISS again.
Cygnus's PCM is the almost exactly the same size as the wine barrels the best French wine houses use to make their wine, coincidence? I think not.

Lots of respect for what Orbital has accomplished. Looking forward to watching this mission. Best wishes for another "nominal" mission. 😄

I'm looking forward to it. I'll be at work when it launches, so I probably won't be able to participate, but I'll try to watch it if I can.
I especially like how Wallops Island (about 300 miles away from me) is turning into a genuinely serious spaceport after all these years of launching mostly sounding rockets, and testing the Mercury escape tower in 1959, which was its main claim to fame.
