Ares 1-X Test Launch Today

Just finished TAing my first lab section of the day. Even considering the train wreck that was the lab on conservation of linear momentum, the grades were pretty good, and this lab went splendidly.

Currently the first Ares 1-X rocket is sitting on the launchpad and waiting for weather to go into the green, I'm really excited, but this might also be the energy drink I had this morning because we can't have coffee (or anything else) in the lab.

Will update as the launch continues. Current launch time is scheduled for 11:04AM (bumped back 15 minutes to the T-4:00 resume time to be 1515Z).
