Student payload rocket launch delayed

The rocket launch carrying a student experiment – the one to which BABloggers donated so incredibly generously so that two of those students could witness it – has been delayed a day. The earliest it can get off the ground is Thursday, June 8, at 6:00 a.m. Eastern time. The launch will be webcast live via the Wallops Flight Facility webpage. That’s 3:00 a.m. my time, so I’ll miss it, but some of you who helped fund the kids might be able to watch.
