Not many hours to it goes live at http://www.nasa.gov

You should watch it there live.

Not much into space/NASA type stuff. but lets hope this doesn't explode like the last spacecraft they tried sending off (luckily no people, just supplies)

That happend for SpaceX and dont think this will happend for this. And ofc i hope it does not since there are people on this. I saw it when it happend at the SpaceX live and i droped my jaw when it blew up.

Space has always excited me. Thanks for the heads-up! :D

What is this about? A bit more information in the first post would be most welcome.

I believe it's a livestream of a space launch, they're sending a crew to the international space station

Gotcha. Couldn't find it at first with my blind eyes, but i'll just post it here for others:

 

NASA Television Coverage Set for Next International Space Station Crew Launch

The next three crew members bound for the International Space Station are set to launch Wednesday, July 22. NASA Television will provide coverage of the launch and the crew’s arrival at the orbiting laboratory less than six hours later.

 

Kjell Lindgren of NASA, Oleg Kononenko of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and Kimiya Yui of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) will launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 5:02 p.m. EDT (3:02 a.m. Thursday, July 23 in Baikonur). NASA TV coverage will begin at 4 p.m.

 

The trio will ride to space in a Russian Soyuz spacecraft, which will rendezvous with the space station and dock after four orbits of Earth. Docking to the space station's Rassvet module will take place at 10:46 p.m. NASA TV coverage of docking will begin at 10 p.m.

 

The crew will open the hatches between the Soyuz and the station around 12:25 a.m. Thursday, July 23. Expedition 44 Commander Gennady Padalka of Roscosmos, as well as Flight Engineers Scott Kelly of NASA and Mikhail Kornienko of Roscosmos, will greet Lindgren, Kononenko and Yui. NASA TV hatch opening coverage begins at 11:45 p.m. Wednesday.

 

Lindgren, Kononenko and Yui will remain aboard the station until late December. Kelly and Kornienko, who have been aboard since March 27, will return to Earth in March 2016 at the end of their one-year mission. Padalka, who also has been aboard since March 27, will return to Earth in September, leaving Kelly in command of Expedition 45.

 

Together the six crew members will continue the several hundred experiments in biology, biotechnology, physical science and Earth science currently underway and scheduled to take place aboard humanity’s only orbital outpost.

It's right there on the link :P A countdown!

Sorry, i thought you would click the link, it's a link to Nasa website where you can see countdown for the new crew to be send up to the spacestation.

If your topic title would have been 'Livestream NASA space launch' than not everybody would have clicked it.  (people like me, who will just Liveleak this tonight instead of watching the stream itself!) That's why i'm always in favor of posting a BIT, just a little bit, of extra information if you are only going to post a link.

Please tell me i'm right though, if everybody would just dump a link in a 'Should really watch this!' topic title than a lot of links/urls would not even be worth clicking on.
