Thanks to a “boat down range,” NASA had to scrub the launch of the Antares rocket from their Wallops Island facility at the last minute.
Luckily, however, NASA is trying again tonight, at 6:22 p.m. The ten-minute launch window will live-streamed on NASA TV beginning at 5:30 p.m. And if you’re worried about not being able to see it, fear not, NASA says the weather forecast for tonight was “95 percent favorable” for getting a clear view of the rocket in D.C. Here’s where to look:

Oh, and the identity of the jerk in the boat who ruined it for everyone last night hasn’t been identified, but we have our suspicions:
@Matt_D_Cohen @brfreed hey guys, great view of this launch from my rented sailboat. Still hasn’t happened tho, don’t know what’s up.
