hey and good morning everyone welcome to the 26th of May we are heading towards the end of school here quite rapidly and I'm really ready until this weekend I'm just a smidge of neck before we are completely finished so hang in there and if you've any makeup work to do please remember that I am taking a late work so you can makeup assignments please make sure things please is for complex for me whenever I have lessons that are being turned in by people in multiple locations and trying to remember who's turning what and what location can be able to challenging but I will do my best to give you credit for today there's something big going on which I think I need to bring to your attention stop and watch one of those moments that will go down in history that is the return of the United States to space in terms of launching people astronauts on the International Space Station but we have not actually launched on his face since the end of the Space Shuttle almost 10 years ago and today SpaceX me or you may have friends whose parents work for the Karen Hawthorne will launch a America to Americans into space and to the space station and that rocket will be launched today at from Cape Canaveral and I'll jump over here to the website SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and that little capsule sitting on top there with the bridge going out to it is the Dragon capsule and I'll see we lost today at 4:33 Eastern Time 33 our time at 1:33 our time you can come here to the SpaceX website you can play one television and definitely be showing lies and you can watch two astronauts be launched into space impression here that's that rock songs on repeat also that's it I'm quite a daring same to walk eyes and look and try and step into that castle and human spaceflight is still very risky I'll drink some people up in the spacer we're talking about just a few hundred people have actually been in space and so launching to Americans in space right now is a great step forward for the United States space program and 4 private space launches because SpaceX private company and they have succeeded do something which was considered to be not possible there launch will also include by the way the landing of the first stage so the first stage of below the black piece right here on a ship that is floating in the ocean or the sea Star Wars like and its ability to land something on a small platform so again that's happening at 1:33 today I would go on early about 35 minutes to go by around 1 to watch the countdown if you can do that and then watch it go I will tell you that there are some possibilities is impossible as it may not launch today because there is a 60% chance of bad weather so it's got a 40% chance of going the bad weather would include thunderstorms which are called tropical moisture coming in from the Gulf of Mexico and there's also some issues with Cloud thickness there are not you're not allowed that did not launch rockets over 4500 ft I'm order potentially rain in the clouds and that's because the velocity of the rocket can cause a negative charge that can potentially produce his own lightning which they discovered on Apollo in 12 or 11 it was struck by its own lightning so I created a charge in the clouds struck by the lightning and not of course can cause potential electrical down with soap the protocols for long-stay that they need to clear sky over the launch area and they need send me the weather happy correct so today it may may may or may not go the next launch window would not be on till the weekend so let's to Nana's find out what's going on and let's see what it looks like again the people who built I think they're local people right down there Hawthorne California near the LAX airport in half an hour of your time doing today thank you
