Well, technically it's not NASA, but regardless, an unmanned resupply ship for the Space Station is launching from Virginia Monday night at 7:40pm EDT.

If the weather cooperates you can see the rocket as it powers it's way up into space. I saw one a couple of years ago and it was pretty cool!



Just a PSA if you need a break from Cheeto Man.

1. Thanks. I'm so damn sick of Cheeto Man I'd love to ride the thing to the space station and stay.

2. I'd love to see it, but I think it'll be too low in the sky

I'm about 40 miles north of Pittsburgh, in a somewhat hilly area.


Still, very cool for those who'll get to see it!

3. Kick to update: launch delayed a day. n/t
