A cargo ship rocketed toward the International Space Station on Saturday, carrying candy and cheese to satisfy the astronauts’ cravings.
“Awesome launch,” Joel Montalbano, NASA’s deputy space station program manager, said once the capsule reached orbit. This latest delivery should have arrived well before Valentine’s Day. But last-minute equipment concerns at the Wallops Island launch pad halted last Sunday’s countdown for the Antares rocket, then bad weather moved in. Dangerously high wind scuttled Friday’s attempt.
This particular Cygnus has been christened the SS Robert H. Lawrence in honor of America’s first black astronaut. Lawrence, an Air Force major, was chosen in 1967 as an astronaut for a classified military space program known as the Manned Orbiting Laboratory. He was killed five months later in a plane crash and never flew in space.The space station is now home for American astronauts Jessica Meir and Andrew Morgan and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Skripochka.
it would be interesting to see how much that cost and the entire trip- in the grand scheme of things- against what they accomplish up there.
Space may be the final frontier. But it's MADE in a HOLLYWOOD BASEMENT. chillipipers
