all right so as I mentioned we were getting a launch and here's the X-37B space plane being launched earlier this week can go off Cape Canaveral space launch Rochester play me some good are UTI's for me and I'm breaking off on the side of the First Take and this is an atlas rocket being launched this is the same rocket is going to launch the James Webb Space Telescope next year LOL be launching from you Kenny is it needs to get into a different orbit in order to make it L2 passing through maximum dynamic what's the maximum pressure for now on the on the rocket that's based on the course to have lost Kid Rock has fuel and the gravity that is pushing through so that's actually a very significant moment passing her Point using means that things are going well 144 miles an hour down range distance traveling at 45 miles per hour is there a disappearing behind it and look at that very shortly here you're going to see off to the left hand side that yes the world is curved bearing is going to pull away and that actually would expose the airplane or high altitude plane that is in the nose, minatare centaurs be coming through space still down sequence Dan Karger not flat ecoboost engine cut off first phase separation Rico's Grace Hawaii disappears and I was going to go splash down back in the ocean again I don't think it would burn up that altitude and in the second stage is going to launch their going to cut away now because it is secret mission because it is a secret mission they cut away and you'll get to see that so as far as we know everything went according to plan and that airplane is not flying around the Earth in the warming up there please play for currently okay so lyrics to like that I'm in that again that you know as I mentioned to you consistently we are in the hub right here of some of the great momentum push forward and Space Oddity it with are there an Air Force Base right there in El Segundo or space ax or Northrop Grumman working on the but we are also not far from us in Palmdale Lancaster is of course we're Virgin Galactic has headquarters and a spin-off from Virgin Galactic virgin orbit and so this weekend they are go launch a rocket into space from a 747 so this is a old virgin 747 plane here I'm assuming that's from Virgin Atlantic or one of those and it has been refit with a holding device that allows you to carry a rocket that rocket is dropped from the wing and then it launches into space so this is a test from the other day that we can see you dropping off and they have not asked fire this thing that just practice to drop stop this weekend out over the Pacific going to fly to pump to Lancaster go out over the Pacific and it's going to drop this thing it's going to launch it up into space and the idea is that will be able to launch Laura satellite inexpensively from 747 airplanes like this and they will not be limited in one orbit they can go into because the airplane will be able to the adjustment in terms of launching so rather than have to wait for a launch window as most major Rockets to this could just simply D something goes wrong on satellite that's in space fabricating replacement take it up and launch immediately and get into low earth orbit so this is what their plan is this weekend and it's going to have an over the to Goshen I guess I'm north of Malibu Point Mugu Adventurer that area is really going to practice do this thing so yeah an interesting adoption or I launched in space and I guess Richard Branson's virgin group are involved in this one as they are with their virgin got to go take people to space which of course is the big one that we will be viewing on Wednesday is the launch of the SpaceX Dragon crew cast the launch to the space station and so this is referred to as launch America and of course you know we have in the past once a lot every night until we are now going to be launching two astronauts on Wednesday Skinner weiner juice American to the human spaceflight program once again after the last space shuttle mission was his demo mission to hear is the two guys are going to go Benton & Hurley and that you can see them in the roof in a really modern ice and much more futuristic spaces inside practicing the dragon capital that is going to be lost in these two guys are going to be going up in this thing right she's going to sit on top of a Falcon 9 rocket on the feet in the air almost and then going to blast him to stay so substantially dangerous thing to do no matter what are the success rate has been on SpaceX anything anytime tensley go wrong and hopefully this is going to be a Monumental moment for them and Force Base tax of course he was super excited about this they are very very excited and the the rock and roll out today I'm so it was rolled out on that specialty rig that you see and slowly rolled over to its launch site and be placed in its position for launched instead takes effect length of time off since you're liking this to get into position but it's now standing upright and you can see the size that castle right there are small compared to the rocket self which gives you an idea of you know what it's like to climb in the morning and realize that you're sitting on top of all of that Rocket Fuel and about you've lost in the space so and that's going to have on Wednesday at 4:33 eastern time so it'll be a 133 launch for us United States and so that's why I was denied like you all to be alive or not I forgot login so you can watch it go off okay so again SpaceX presided about this also obviously these guys are down there and Hawthorne been working on this first offense like the time happy at all the other competitors to produce this man Castle they can launch so and if you go to the SpaceX site of course they have information about this and it'll be the play the best place to watch it at sa-11 live footage of the Avalon Canisius right front and center right here and you can go in and find more animation about the astronauts and animation to what this thing looks like okay so this is a big things coming up this week I mean you no pretty substantial in terms of space launch
