Default Test Window Opens at 4:00pm EST

Latest update: (looks like times quoted were central time...test window will open at 4:00 EST).

"Teams are progressing through the countdown and running approximately an hour ahead of schedule. The test is targeted for as early as 4 p.m. EST. Live coverage will begin earlier at 3:20 p.m. on NASA Television and the agency’s website. Learn more about Green Run, and check back at this blog for updates on the SLS core stage hot fire test."

And this will be a blatant commercial plug (uncompenstated) for the Estes SLS rocket kit, now available at Estes or AC Supply.

Estes Link: https://estesrockets.com/product/002206-nasa-sls/

AC Supply: https://www.acsupplyco.com/estes-22...odel-rocket-kit

I don't normally do 'commercials' in my posts, but I, like many (all?) of us want to see the 'new' Estes succeed. So, be sure to check out their offerings whenever your rocketry needs arise!!

That sucked. They hardly showed the engines at all, mostly shots of steam.
