MOC Bloggin': L-Minus 4 hours

The rocket's copper-colored midsection is glittering
in the Florida sunshine as it sits on the launch pad.

We'll be making history today. I find myself looking
past the launch, though. First contact will be the
most exciting thing that happens today. It's just
like in the movies, when the capsule has passed
through the Earth's atmosphere and we wait for some
sign, any sign, that someone's still alive.

When that data stream starts flowing, then we're in
business.
