Last night I somehow discovered there would be a rocket launch in Virginia that could be seen from from our back window in PA. At the same time the International Space Station would be visible passing over us at 50° off the horizon. I thought it would be fun for the kids (okay, and me too) so we turned on NASA TV and waited. The ISS passed over beautifully but the resupply rocket headed there had its launch scrubbed. Seems there was a sailboat down range and in the interest of safety the launch was cancelled and rescheduled for today.
Attempt #2 wasn't successful either, and it looks like the sailor from last night was damn lucky launch was cancelled!
