The launch team is resetting for a liftoff tomorrow – Saturday, Dec. 5 – at 5:10 p.m. EST. Our coverage here and on NASA TV will begin at 4 p.m. The weather forecast currently calls for a 30 percent chance of acceptable conditions at launch time. The Atlas V rocket and Cygnus spacecraft will remain at the launch pad as the pair is configured for liftoff tomorrow to begin the cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station.

We live in Sydney Australia and my youngest son Lachlan 10yrs has been learning about space and we have had you in our diary for well over a month.
We have been watching since Thursday night (Australia time) … We then learnt we were a day too early…. He was in class yesterday with his mates watching your launch and today he watched again
I would like to say is keepup the good work you all are doing. I am a space nut and love watching it on TV. I would like to some day be albe to come down to NASA and watch a launch. So keep on trucking.
Are you going to have a live feed for launch this afternoon RESPECTFULLY MARC R CASTAGNA
hi
We hope to be successful in this project
Safety First! Fly when the conditions are better, and do not get into a ‘Go Fever’ mode. Fly Safe!
We can hope for better conditions, but we must launch soon know matter the risk. Possibility of improved conditions may not exist and change ‘dramatically’ within the launch window. There are unknown and unseen circumstances (?)
