What you need to know about the 4/24 launch

Hello, all. This post includes (hopefully) everything that you need to know for the launch on April 24, 2016, at 4:00 EDT. EDT, if you don't know, stands for Eastern Daylight Time, which is GMT-4:00. It is the same area as EST (Eastern Standard Time) but is an hour ahead due to Daylight Saving Time.

The launch will be streamed on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/cliftonm Be aware that chat is moderated, and that you need to go by the rules, which are below the stream.

Our mission is to launch the Independence 7 spacecraft into Low Earth Orbit and remain there for several orbits before returning. During that time, our pilot will preform several experiments, and systems tests.

I, the Public Affairs Officer, will be hosting the event, and discussing what is going on. There will be a full mission control team, which will be audible in the background.

Thank you for reading, and if I've forgotten anything, feel free to let me know.
