I tuned in this morning to see the launch but it had been postponed for 24 hours due to high winds in the upper atmosphere. I will tune in tomorrow when it is scheduled to take off if the weather is alright. Apparently the launch only has a launch moment - not a launch window (meaning that they can´t try again later the same day but have to wait till the next launch moment comes around) like most space missions.
I´m looking forward to its successful launch & its going into orbit later ready for its final boost into deep space. Although its a long jouney till it reaches the comet the wait should be worth while.
