This is the first launch of the sapphire 1, a rocket developed by an entirely non profit company with the eventual aim to send a human into space.

It's a tiny little thing. I wish I could see it, but I don't plan on being awake at 4am. :/

Well, they are active on the forums if I am correct. Lets hope it works

[Spartwo]

I completely forgot thanks for the reminder.

[deadshot462]

Had no idea this was on tonight, thanks for the heads up!

[Spaceisbeautifulul]

Awesome!

The world of Kerbin will be watching.

Now I just need to buy a lot of coffee.

It's at two in the morning where I live (Pacific Standard), so I'll probably go to sleep and wake up for it.

[TheCanadianVendingMachine]

Lucky me! It will be a midnight launch!

[astropapi1]

Launch at 10 am for me!

[OUScooby]

If I'm still awake at 2am, I'll be watching Le Mans instead.

[Arkran]

Conveniently this is on at 5pm for me. Hello from Australia!

Who will be piloting this suborbital flight?

Who will be piloting this suborbital flight?

It'll be their version of MechJeb... Let's hope that they have corrective steering enabled!

[TheCanadianVendingMachine]

I mean is this a manned flight?

[doggie015]

I mean is this a manned flight?

As far as I can tell it will be an unmanned test...

[TheCanadianVendingMachine]

Oh, .

[astropapi1]

God, you guys are making an apollo mission out of this! xD

It's their first controlled flight. The sapphire isn't much more than a sounding rocket, just for testing stuff (Which still is great!).

Well, they announced themselfs on the Welcome Aboard forum, and they play KSP, so I think the community is happy

[Spaceisbeautifulul]

Oh yeah, anyone who plays KSP is a friend of mine.

And if they want to launch people into space? Yeah, I think I'm happy.

edit: Sorry, meant to post somewhere else

[orange_guy48]

YES a reason to stay up all night

[Voyager55]

3:30 AM must...stay...awake....

[TheCanadianVendingMachine]

Streams not even up... After 5 hours of waiting... *eye twitch*

[Pulstar]

They're going out to sea at the moment, t-44 minutes. I wonder how far away will the launch be visible and what the trajectory will be.
