Just for the record, it's the coverage that starts at 4 am. The actual liftoff is scheduled for 7:05. Anyway I can't wait to see this. It's absolutely phenomenal that we are actually testing out spacecraft to get us to other planets.

That's pretty cool!.
(the SLS sucks BTW)
Let us all pray that the person responsible for the project doesn't decide to wear a somewhat tasteless shirt to work that day, lest there be hell to pay.
Well the whole thing got delayed passed the launch window by various factors, one of them being some idiot in a boat (I've already seen quite a few image macros mocking the event), and the launch will be taking place at 7:05 am EST tommorrow.
Well I guess this will be a small step for a man, one giant for mankind

I don't know anything of what's going on right now, but Orion is the most badass name for anything ever.
According to my math, in my country the launch should be at about 10 am. So yay i won't miss it!
and we have liftoff!
