In case you're uninformed on recent space news; the Orion spacecraft is the space ship part; of a space program; planned to take the place of the former nasa space shuttle program.
Link to the informative video nasa made covering the launch:

You can watch the launch live at the below link starting at 4 am EST (0900 GMT):

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.

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.
