Orbital ATK will attempt its first launch of an Antares booster since a launch failure in 2014:
NASA and Orbital ATK officials have set Oct. 13 as the target date for the first Antares launch in nearly two years, giving approval for ground crews to load final cargo into the mission's Cygnus supply carrier heading for the International Space Station. [...] This month's launch campaign is the first for Orbital ATK's Antares booster since a catastrophic launch failure on Oct. 28, 2014, destroyed a Cygnus supply ship loaded with equipment for the space station. The mishap also damaged the Antares launch pad at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport, a facility owned by the government of Virginia at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility.
The launch could be delayed by Hurricane Matthew.

NASA et al are scammers. None of the sworn freemasons or military persons under oath will ever admit to you that they are faking the space program. There is no curvature of the Earth, nor is there any spinning. Simple facts that can be trivially proven with a x200 telescope, and a precision gyroscope. The purpose of these 'space' activities is to keep the illusion alive.
This means that "the theory of gravity" is right out the window, and that space is not what NASA claims it is.
Are there missions? Sure they are: they have been flying around using taxpayer money since the 50s, and all they have ever produced is (bad quality) CGI images of the "globe" Earth.
There is no midnight Sun in Antarctica. Impossible on a globe. Look this up.
The Earth looks completely flat from more than 100,000 ft. up. Again, impossible on a globe. Look it up as well (weather channel wireless camera balloon)
Or swallow the blue pill, join the rest of the armchair critics, feel proud of your achievement of dismissing me as "a troll", and believe what they tell you.

You need a new act, son. This one has run its course. Nobody bites on them any more.

Nice try, NASA fanboy. Now back to your hole, quick.
