First launch since kaboom two Octobers ago. FFW to 2:52
I worked at the site after the event and characterized the damage to all of the piping and pressure vessels. Hopefully this one goes well.

One day after a faulty ground cable triggered a 24-hour delay, Orbital ATK’s Antares rocket is set for liftoff from Virginia’s Eastern Shore at 7:40 p.m. EDT (2340 GMT) Monday on its first flight since 2014 with more than 5,000 pounds of provisions and experiments for the International Space Station.

It was all a hologram.

That hologram left an impressive hole in the ground.

Do you know if its going to be on tv or only online?

I'd think that link is the only way to see it. They scrubbed the launch last night, so I doubt TV would ever set aside primetime viewing for something so unreliable.

Nothing like a good rocket launch. I'll watch it. Let's hope this one goes a little better than your YouTube link.

Yea, both SpaceX and Orbital have had a rough go of getting cargo to the station. Not sure NASA can take another failure.

NASATV will probably have it, if you have that DirectTV channel.

Assuming no lives are at stake, watching an explosion like that live would be cool.
