SpaceX getting ready to lift off from pad 39A at Cape Canaveral tomorrow. Slight chance of weather delay.
Engineers clad in clean suits finished stowing last-minute cargo into SpaceX’s Dragon supply ship Friday, including 40 mice and bacterial research specimens, a day before it is scheduled to blast off to the International Space Station in the first flight from the Kennedy Space Center’s historic Apollo-era launch pad 39A since 2011.
Working at the base of a towering 30-story support structure built to prepare space shuttles for liftoff, NASA and SpaceX crews accessed the hatch to the Dragon spaceship through a purified “white room” to pack around 1,000 pounds (around 450 kilograms) of time-critical equipment into the capsule.
That is about one-fifth of the overall cargo load, which totals nearly 5,500 pounds (2.5 metric tons.)
Launch is scheduled for 7:01 AM Pacific time tomorrow and you can watch the live coverage here:

You can also watch on SpaceX's YouTube channel which will have the technical and hosted webcasts.

My new toy.....
Cbr600rr....
I'm very excited, never had a brand new vehicle before...
Things have moved on a long way in my 10 years away from bikes...
Many safety improvements such as duel, fly by wire, abs brakes...
Traction control...
And some more stuff to help keep my face off the floor...
Also ceramic paint protection to keep it looking tidy for a few years....
