There is an excitement in the area reminiscent of some early NASA launches as SpaceX prepares for its historic
Dragon/Falcon 9 launch to the International Space Station (ISS) at 4:55 a.m. EDT Saturday morning. In this case, NASA is moving into more of a service customer role as this flight is a demonstration for future supply runs to the ISS. Here is
Space.com's coverage page which includes related articles.
SpaceX rolled the vehicle out to the pad overnight and a prelaunch press conference was just concluded this afternoon. Some major news networks may provide TV coverage, but webcast coverage is definitely planned at the
NASA TV web site and the
SpaceX website.
