YT2095 Posted April 20, 2004 Posted April 20, 2004 a delta type rocket was succesfully launched today from California at 6pm GMT, carrying with it a probe to test Einstains General Theory of Relativity. more news a little later as it`s not hit the internet at the time of this post yet!
swansont Posted April 20, 2004 Posted April 20, 2004 Ah, yes - Gravity Probe B. But it's not like the probe is news, just the launch. They've been working toward this for almost 45 years.
Dave Posted April 20, 2004 Posted April 20, 2004 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3639193.stm They've been waiting 45 years to do this
booper54 Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Vandenburg Air Force Base is only about 30 minutes away from my house! Unfortunately I didn't get to see the rocket in the sky while it was visible, but people who did said it was very beautiful.
