I don't know how many of you like to watch space launches, but there are two of them this week.


The first scheduled launch is a Delta Four Heavy carrying a classified payload from Vandenberg AFB, California. The launch is set for Wednesday, at 10:52 am PDT. Watch it via webcast [url "http://www.ulalaunch.com/site/pages/Multimedia_Webcast.shtml"]HERE.[/url]

On Thursday, Europe will launch two communications satellites aboard an Araine 5 heavy lancer from Kourou, French Guiana at about 4:30 pm EDT. Follow/view the launch [url "http://www.arianespace.tv/index.htm"]HERE.[/url]

Yeah, but can it pop popcorn from space? If it had lazers (airquotes)


Thanks RR for sharing. Saw we had another commercial space flight with Virgin too.

Yup, I was just about to post that. This one is set for 9:27 pm tonight (Sept 6) Mountain Time.

If you have Direct TV, NASA is channel 346. Or watch by streaming netcast.
