- There continues to be a lot happening on the NASA front. The top item – this hour’s Ohio Delegation meeting with Administrator Bolden to discuss the agency’s "ongoing presence in the state of Ohio" and "Ohio’s future in America’s space program." The meeting is a result of Delegation letter that was signed by all 20 members in early December. The Greater Cleveland Partnership worked with several members of the delegation to make sure all members were aware of the letter’s circulation and to encourage them to sign on. We also engaged our network of other Ohio aerospace partners to reach out to their members and encourage signing on.

- As you know by now, the launch of the Ares I-X was a stunning success. NASA Glenn and the entire space exploration team can be very proud of this accomplishment. The Plain Dealer coverage provided by John Mangels was awesome and captured to majesty of the moment. Now, the research begins – from the 700 sensors that were aboard, scientists will learn more about the flight and the future.

- With the announcement that the launch time has been pushed back to 10:30a, our delegation of folks have loaded the bus to catch our plane in Orlando. While disappointing, it demonstrates the level of care and caution that NASA takes even with experimental, unmanned vehicles. Our hope is that we can get checked in at the airport and then view it from there.

- OK, so we are back at Kennedy Space Center for a second try at launching the Ares I-X. The morning fog is clearing and there is light cloud cover. Most importantly there are plenty of openings to launch through and there's little ground wind, which was a factor in yesterday's delay.

- While taking the tour of Kennedy Space Center, we were able to tour the Operations and Control Building, which Carol referenced in a prior post. That’s where we saw something that made us all laugh – a Sherwin-Williams paint bucket. The GCP member company not only covers the earth, but has NASA covered too.

- Waiting for a launch can be a frustrating thing. First the weather, then the errant cargo ship, which made weather (clouds) a concern.
So Mission Control has reset the launch clock to T -4:00mins and we're waiting on a weather plane to circle back to determine the next opening. -

- At 12mins to launch, mission control announces 'no go' due to an errant cargo ship in the splash down danger zone.
Of all the uncontrolable issues, namely weather and an incoming front, we are now in a hold due to an ignored marine warning. -

- Well, 4:30 a.m. in the morning in Florida looks a lot like 4:30 in the morning in Cleveland – very dark. . .but we’re gathering in the lobby of the hotel to board the bus that will take us to the launch site. And at this moment, all systems are “go”. We’ll have to wait to see what the weather does, but things appear to be good. We just need a cloud-free morning and the Ares I-X will fly.
Yesterday was an amazing day. NASA officials from Kennedy Space Center hosted us on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Space Center. We actually got to drive out to the launch pad and see Ares I-X waiting to go. . .it’s hard to describe how huge the rocket is. We’re so fortunate to have this opportunity. We also got a chance to see Kennedy’s new high bay rocket assembly and testing facility, including their vacuum chamber. The State of Florida invested $35 million in this facility and they’re considering another $20 million – an investment in jobs and the future. Very impressive collaboration between the Center and the State.
Well, we’re off to Kennedy Space Center with fingers crossed and an eye toward the sky. Nick and I will keep you posted. Stay tuned. -

- Rumor has it that the President may be stopping at Kennedy Space Center tomorrow for the Ares I-X launch. He is scheduled to be in Florida on other business. With the recent release of the full Augustine Comission report, a stop at KSC, especially for this launch, will be viewed very strongly by the aerospce community.
