Surely NASA will broadcast the launch of Expedition 30 tonight, from Baikonur Cosmodrome. And surely it will be a VERY tense and dramatic launch, because it's the first manned mission after a lot of failures and crashes involving Russian Rockets this year. And also there's a lot of pressure over the astronauts of Expedition 29, who are aboard the ISS and might evacuate the space station, in case of another failure of the Russian space agency.

Three spaceflyers will launch to the International Space Station tonight (Nov. 13), to begin a months-long mission to the orbiting outpost.
NASA astronaut Dan Burbank and Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Anatoly Ivanishin are slated to launch aboard a Russian-built Soyuz rocket tonight at 11:14 p.m. ET (0415 GMT Nov. 14) from the Baikonour Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Tonight's liftoff will be the first manned flight of the Soyuz rocket since the Russian-built booster suffered a failure in August. It will also be the first trio of station crewmembers to launch to the complex since NASA grounded its fleet of space shuttles in July after 30 years of service.
On Aug. 24, a Soyuz rocket carrying a robotic cargo freighter suffered a crippling malfunction minutes after launch. The booster and Progress 44 cargo ship crashed in Siberia, and the 2.9 tons of supplies onboard were lost.

I have this awkward sensation in my stomach.

Well if there's a mission that they need to succeed this is it. All I can say is Good Luck.

This is the first i heard of this, but i also have a strange feeling about this. feeling nervous. Maybe that's because they said russias had failures with rockets earlier this year, and that is certainly a little discouraging. wouldn't it also suck if they got to the ISS and than than something went wrong up there that put the whole station in jepordy.

I also can't avoid the idea that there's some occult red-flag event going on, concerning the ISS.

I am holding my breath and hoping all goes well. We don't need anymore failures, especially on a manned craft.

Why can you not avoid that idea? (Jwust curious so i can look into it and get my own opinion, not to refute yours.)

The timing between these events can't be a mere coincidence: Obama shutting down the Shuttle program; NASA contract to pay the Russians $63 million per seat, for US astronauts hitch a lift in the Soyuz; the "loss" of NASA/DARPA supersonic drone HTV-2 Falcon, the "loss" of Russian comm satellite Express-AM4, the crash of Soyuz in August, the announcement of NASA about the evacuation of the ISS, the "loss" of Phobos-Grunt spacecraft, the fall of NASA's UARS, the fall of German satellite ROSAT, this whole psyop of asteroids passing close to Earth... If you look into these events you will see that there's a flawless timing between them. Some of them happened with very short intervals and I think that there's something big to happen with the ISS.

I am wondering is said equipment isn't being commandeered by someone/s for other than honorable purposes.
These guys control what information we receive, albeit they are losing that control. Who is to say that said missing/crashed/destroyed equipment is truly missing/crashed/destroyed? If i am to believe this, then i am to believe that Tom Hanks mooned Lyndon Johnson..

Just my $0.02

Not that i want anything bad to happen, but it'd sure be nuts if it did.

we'll keep an eye out

Will this even go ahead?

A launch during a blizzard...after recent mishaps?

Visibility is barely 100ft...

I noticed the astronauts are packed in like sardines in that thing

Pre-Launch Jitters.

Over in Russia, I like the added measure as seen here: www.cumberlink.com...

Somewhere I have a little book of blessings used by priests for various things. It was published in the early 1960's and one of the last entries was a blessing for a spacecraft. I was going to reproduce it here after seeing that picture, but the version on my shelf is from 1944-- it only goes up to airplanes.
