It looks like NOAA-N, a weather observation satellite, is scheduled to launch in a few hours (5:22-5:32 EST), according to the NASA website: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/NOAA-N-P...unch/index.html

Clear now, but not looking good around launch time; 90% chance of rain @ 2AM local (launch time is 2:22L, 1022 GMT).

However, they did apparently fuel the booster anyhow. Maybe they know something we don't?

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
