NASA 5 rockets in 5 minutes live feed

Hi, weather permitting, NASA is panning to launch 5 rockets to test winds and electrical currents at high altitude. Here is a copy and paste from Space.com.

NASA is once again hoping to launch five rockets in just over five minutes — a space barrage that promises to put on a spectacular midnight light show of luminescent vapor trails above the U.S. East Coast — but only if Mother Nature cooperates.

After a series of delays due to bad weather and a technical glitch, NASA is now aiming to launch the five-rocket barrage Friday (March 23) after weather concerns thwarted earlier attempts this week.

launch was post poned due to weather and uncooperating boats-they needed to be clear of the imapct area where the rockets fall back into the Atlantic Ocean. NASA going to try again in 24hrs.
