Lift Off to the International Space Station


A rocket has successfully lifted off from Wallop Islands, VA carrying 7400 pounds of supplies to the international space station. The capsule had entered orbit shortly after its launch and will continue to be in orbit for several days before meeting up with the actual space station delivering supplies and equipment. It is the first time in a year that the firm has launched a supply mission from its home state. However, a planned Saturday launch had been scrubbed after an aircraft was detected in the path  of vicinity.


This isn't really any big news but I mean, they're launching something so in my book it checks out. it was great that it was a success and how this success will lead to furthering the development of future missions.
