A Bit After Midnight Tonight, It Seems...

I may not get up to watch, as I expect all will go nominally -- it is a relatively small rocket, leaving from Vandenberg, afterall.

But if you go to NASA-TV after midnight Eastern, you may watch the launch for yourself:

. . .DART is scheduled to launch from Vandenberg on Nov. 23 at 10:21 p.m. PST (Nov. 24 at 1:21 a.m. EST). DART is the first mission to test technologies for preventing an impact of Earth by a hazardous asteroid. DART’s target asteroid is not a threat to Earth. LSP, based at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, America’s multi-user spaceport, is managing the launch. . . .

Onward, grinning. . . .
