Another Important Space Launch - completely overlooked

New (and record) crew on the ISS via Soyuz later this morning

Lift-off temporarily delayed though, so maybe after a beer or two.

My System: IDD CI24 ECONO MM Penta 1.20 Galaxy II 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 21 years and is still driven by a modified wiper motor from a Ford Anglia. It's like me sometimes groans but always performs
