Default SpaceX CRS-5 Postponed Until Jan 6th

Premature end to static fire test this week led to postponement.

As per public information from NASASpaceFlight.com see:

http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2014/...alcon-9-crs-5/


In conjunction with holidays and high beta positioning of ISS during the dates 12/28/14 to 1/7/15.

Reschedule date is Tuesday 1/6/15.

Still holding out hope that SpaceX with live stream booster recovery attempt and that one or more drones or an orbiting aircraft will be able to provide video. Certainly could understand if SpaceX chooses not to live stream, however this would be a "historic occasion". Maybe some gentle nudging from the fan base would help? ;-)
