NASA STEREO Spacecraft Set to Launch

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bring-yer-3d-glasses dept.

An anonymous reader writes "As first reported on last year, NASA's STEREO mission is set to launch tonight at 8:38pm EST. The two near-identical spacecraft will give us unprecedented stereoscopic views of the Sun-Earth system, hopefully leading to the creation of the first 3-D movies of the Sun! Launch can be watched live on NASA TV with coverage starting at 6:30pm EST."

    You have obviously been spendig too much time drinking the scifi cool-aid and not enough time logically thinking things through. And yes, I am a scientist (physicist).

    Oh AC, your false pretenses always astound me. Are we really to believe that this quote-unquote "physicist" doesn't know how to spell "kool-aid"!?

    Ha! Some physicist...
