Good Morning 'Barb,
Yes, it was delayed until this evening :( Many were disappointed, but it happens often. "If first you don't succeed, try > Try > Again" It's really going to help with accurate weather forecasting!

I'm trying again to make it another day :) I just about gave up on posting the Blog this morning...Space's (abused) computer is ready for a rebuild, or the thrash.

Glitch delays launch of SpaceX rocket with U.S. weather satellite

BY IRENE KLOTZ
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Sun Feb 8, 2015 6:42pm EST

http://s1.reutersmedia.net/resources...=LYNXMPEB170JAThe unmanned Falcon 9 rocket launched by SpaceX carrying NOAA's Deep Space Climate Observatory Satellite sits on launch complex 40 after a scrubbed launch attempt at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Cape Canaveral, Florida February 8, 2015.

(Reuters) - Launch of a SpaceX rocket with a U.S. weather satellite bound for deep space was called off minutes before liftoff on Sunday due to a technical problem, officials said.
Launch had been targeted for 6:10 p.m. EST from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. But about 2.5 minutes before liftoff, a problem cropped up with an Air Force radar system needed to track the rocket in flight.
The next opportunity to launch is 6:07 p.m. EST on Monday, said NASA launch commentator Michael Curie.
The rocket carries the Deep Space Climate Observatory, nicknamed DSCOVR, a partnership of NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
DSCOVR is expected to replace a 17-year-old satellite monitoring for potentially dangerous solar storms. Tsunamis of charged particles from the sun, called coronal mass ejections, can disrupt GPS and other satellite signals, block radio communications and impact electric power grids on Earth, NOAA said.
“We think of DSCOVR as a weather buoy,” NOAA administrator and former astronaut Kathryn Sullivan said during a NASA launch webcast.
“It senses first the blasts of solar wind and embedded magnetic fields that are potentially going to wreak some havoc.”
Following launch, DSCOVR will take more than three months to reach its operational orbit around the sun, almost 1 million miles (1.6 million) km inward from Earth.
The satellite’s original mission, championed by then-Vice President Al Gore, was to provide a near-continuous view of Earth that would be distributed via the Internet in an attempt to raise environmental awareness, much like the iconic Apollo 17"Blue Marble" picture of Earth did in the early 1970s.
The satellite, then called Triana - and lampooned as "GoreSat" - was due to launch on the ill-fated space shuttle Columbia mission in 2003, but it was pulled from the manifest and put into storage after President George H.W. Bush moved into the White House.
A decade later, Triana was refurbished and reborn as the DSCOVR solar observatory. In addition to instruments to study the solar wind, it has two sensors for Earth science observations, such as tracking volcanic plumes, measuring ozone and monitoring droughts, flooding and fires.
The satellite also will take pictures of Earth every two hours that will be posted on the Internet the next day, fulfilling in part Gore's dream.
“The opportunity for every man, woman and child who lives on the Earth to see … their own home in the context of the whole can add to our way of thinking about our relationship to the Earth,” Gore, who was at the

(I got called in to the warehouse this morning to help them with a late shipment that needed to get out). It was a good morning work out.

Afternoon everyone, thought I would do something nice today and get up early and drive the wife to work, started out good, but on way home turned a corner to get on the highway and the back end slid around and caught a snow bank, thankfully, no damage, but still enough of an incident to set me off in a bad mood, then got home and put a new belt on the snowblower and got the driveway half done, as we have had a lot, and I mean a lot of snow lately and the drive system went, so now it won't propel itself under it's own power, and of course this happened right at the end of the driveway.

So now I am staying low key for the remainder of the day as I don't want anything else to happen

I hope everyone enjoys their day

Say Grace b-4 each meal 4>Sure<
 

:rolleyes: Hi 'Barb, WoW you got that fast (but, you do drive a Hot Rod Monte) :)

I've never had one of those, but I eat just about anything. I have to make a run to the warehouse & was going to stop at Taco Bell for some Taco's.
Haven't had any in a long time.

Thanks for sharing your Lunch (picture)>I licked my screen (it really needs cleaned) > :rotfl:

Sounds like you had a rough day Ohara

Ken-
good to hear there was no damage !! :)

Hi `Ken,
I keep missing you online & wanted to thank you for your post(s) concerning 'Space :thumbsup:
Oh, Happy Belated Birthday to the Mrs. > Dinner & Cake was a special treat.

Wish you a problem 'free/restful afternoon :thumbsup:

Thanks Tadd and Barbara, I am very lucky there was no damage, and I was only doing about 5 mph but I couldn't do anything to stop it until it was over.

I am used to bad days, as I've had quite a few of them as of late, kind of getting used to them to say the least lol, but I always try and remain positive, as it's true, life only gives you what you can handle.
Barbara, now I want a Wendy's Spicy Chicken sandwich lol, but I'm almost scared to leave the house and they don't deliver :(

Thanks BBMike, we always seem to be online at different times lol, send Space my best please, being in the nursing profession I have a pretty good idea of what he is going through and it is not fun, so my heart goes out to him.
I will tell the Mrs Happy Birthday and she really enjoyed the cake, but I can hear it calling my name right now lol, since I don't want to leave the house and get a spicy chicken it is almost the same thing right? lol

Hope you are enjoying the day

Afternoon! It's getting better still aches though a lot.
Sucks when you are short handed in a warehouse everybody has to bust there ass that much more!
Roads look like garbage not looking forwards to this drive to work in a bit!

:rolleyes:
Hi 'Devin, 'Ken & Member's,
Thanks for your replies...

*Devin if it continues to hurt, I hope that you got to the doc's & get it checked out...One of Spaces problems is that he waited to go to the hospital & did more damage. :(
We live & hopefully learn (?)

One thing good about bad times in life & bad weather is that we can really appreciate life more when the good times & sunny/warm weather returns.

Wish all a great afternoon>'eve>'Life
