NASA about to fire the fuck out of a rocket to the moon[views:5536][posts:61]__________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 9:22am - brian_dc ""] Testing to send folks back up there. This one is unmanned Stream that shit. http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html |
| __________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 9:32am - brian_dc ""] come on, this is the world's largest rocket. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 9:36am - brian_dc ""] delayed 90 minutes because of a fucking ship being too close to the danger area. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 9:36am - brian_dc ""] *to your danger zone, gurl |

| __________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 9:45am - brian_dc ""] whoa, they got that sorted 9:49 to launch |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 9:47am - arilliusbm ""] Yep. watching. 500 million dollars for this test rocket. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 9:50am - brian_dc ""] fuck, I should be drinking some scotch for this. burn that sweet, sweet money, space bros. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 9:53am - arilliusbm ""] honestly, I wish we put way more funding into NASA. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 9:55am - brian_dc ""] Absolutely, NASA is just about the only US government agency that has done much positive for the world. I think this is hilarious that it isn't front page news on so many news sites. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 9:55am - dertoxia ""] this isnt the biggest rocket. The Ares I is just a shuttle solid rocket booster with a payload on top of it. Now the Ares X, that could be the biggest rocket ever. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 9:57am - arilliusbm ""] I agree, I fully support NASA, however... meh, I won't jump into the conspiracies anymore. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 9:59am - arilliusbm ""] the weather is holding it off. they're stuck at 4 minutes right now.. waiting for the weather to clear up. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 10:01am - pam nli ""] I gave up, it wasn't connecting. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 10:05am - Martins ""] Moon landing was faked. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 10:08am - arilliusbm ""] No it wasn't. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 10:08am - Moon Nazi's ""] DO NOT TRUST ARIL. HE REPORTS FROM HIS WORK STATION, ABOVE THE FEDERAL RESERVE, DIRECTLY TO OUR REMOTE LOCATION ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. HE IS GATHERING INTELLIGENCE ON ALL USERS OF THE RTTP FORUM. YOU WILL AWAKE ONE DAY IN A TESTING FACILITY IN AN UNKNOWN LOCATION. POSSIBLY UNDER THE DESERT, BELOW THE OCEAN OR EVEN IN OUTER SPACE. TRUST NO ONE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. |

| ___________________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 10:29am - largefreakatzero ""] My rocket is bigger than your rocket. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 27,2009 10:30am - Yeti ""] hopefully this is real, unlike the one fired into the moon to test for water. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 10:30am - arilliusbm ""] Are you alluding that the water test rocket was fake? |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 10:30am - brian_dc ""] this isn't making it to the moon it's splashing back down in the ocean. should only see about 2 minutes in the air. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 27,2009 10:38am - Yeti ""] there was no allusion there, it was blatantly fake. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 10:41am - arilliusbm ""] haha, yea.. it was. there were a buttload of people saying something shot it down |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 10:47am - brian_dc ""] yeah, I don't think this will happen today |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 11:17am - dertoxia ""] last chance for the day in 4 minutes |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 11:23am - brian_dc ""] oh well, tomorrow it is. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 11:29am - Pires ""] That was uneventful. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 28,2009 10:00am - brian_dc ""] I think this might actually happen at 11 today. Get ready to watch a rocket fire and then slash into the ocean. YES. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 28,2009 10:03am - arilliusbm ""] "Shit. A 6 year old snuck into the storage area of the rocket!" |

| ___________________________________ [Oct 28,2009 11:08am - brian_dc ""] They're going to do this when I'm stuck in a van driving to Poughkeepsie...I can feel it. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 28,2009 11:12am - arilliusbm ""] If you had the iphone, you'd be able to stream it via the NASA app. |
