Today's Falcon 1 launch has been delayed until tomorrow:

In order to facilitate preparations for a missile defense launch, the Army Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) has bumped the SpaceX Falcon 1 maiden flight from its officially scheduled launch date of 1 p.m. California time (9 p.m. GMT) on November 25. The new launch time is 1 p.m. California time (9 p.m. GMT) on November 26.

More sabotage by the evil Bolock-mart monopoly, no doubt.

I'm not sure I'm willing to join the black helicopter crowd just yet, but if I was running a missile defense test I'd love to have more than one bird in the air to keep track of as a better test of the sort of conditions a missile defense system would face if it ever had to be used.

Move your thinking beyond the lab, boys.

The delays are getting shorter. That's encouraging.

Way OT but Little Green Footballs is reporting on a former Canadian Minister of Defence who has said the following at a conference,

“UFOs, are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head.”

Mr. Hellyer went on to say, “I’m so concerned about what the consequences might be of starting an intergalactic war, that I just think I had to say something.”

Hellyer warned, “The United States military are preparing weapons which could be used against the aliens, and they could get us into an intergalactic war without us ever having any warning.” He stated, “The Bush administration has finally agreed to let the military build a forward base on the moon, which will put them in a better position to keep track of the goings and comings of the visitors from space, and to shoot at them, if they so decide.”

Unbelievable, completely unbelievable.

Well, yeah, you thought Stargate SG-1 was a science fiction show?

I say let those aliens have it!

The Former Canadian Defense Minister is re-living an LSD flashback from 1970 when he was getting high and watching Gerry Anderson's UFO the series.

Next thing, he will accuse Bush of trying to form a SHADO government.

Out of the Cradle is liveblogging the launch.
