Launch attempt #2 - Launch weather excellent:

NASA will try to launch a Delta 2 rocket and five science satellites tonight after high winds forced a postponement Friday evening.

The 12-story rocket and its cargo are scheduled to blast off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station between 6:01 p.m. and 6:19 p.m. The targeted liftoff time will be 6:01 p.m.

Afternoon Daze.
Wish we could see it here in NC but even if we could we've got cloud cover pretty darn thick tonight.
We'll try and fin it on the tube.

Got several more night launches this year...so hopefully you all will see one...doubt TV will cover an unmanned launch but sometimes the NASA websites have streaming video...

Saw them launch one of if not the last Titan 5 rocket back in Jan 2002 at night. The Titan 5 rockets were the largest vehicles launched from the Cape. The launch was originally supposed to be around 4pm but got pushed back, lucky us. An incredible site!
