10! 9! 8! Come experience the excitement of a rocket launch, live in AltspaceVR! And this is not just any rocket launch, this is the world's first orbital-class rocket to fly a second time! On April 8, 2016, this rocket successfully delivered supplies to the ISS, and in March it will go even farther, delivering a communications satellite to a geosynchronous transfer orbit. If rockets can be flown more than once, it will dramatically drive down the cost of getting to orbit and beyond, opening up space science and travel to a whole new market. Imagine how expensive plane tickets would be if they could only fly the plane once! The importance of this historic milestone cannot be overstated, you don't want to miss it.

The launch is scheduled for Thursday March 30th, 2017, between 18:27 - 20:57 EDT, but that may change. Stay tuned!
