Question winners will be announced at the end of this show. (Wikimedia)
• GEORGE DILLER: And NASA Launch Manager Chuck Dovale has just announced that we are scrubbing for today. Twenty-four hour scrub. We will attempt to get Chuck Dovale here on console, or, or his deputy, to explain what's happened. (Wikimedia)
• GEORGE DILLER: This is Atlas launch control at T minus 1 hour, 36 minutes, 23 seconds and counting. We're here with Jim Graf, the MRO project manager from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. (Wikimedia)
• GEORGE DILLER: This is Atlas launch control at T minus 2 hours and holding. The countdown is under way in the Atlas Space Operations Center. (Wikimedia)
• GEORGE DILLER: This is Atlas launch control at T minus 2 hours and holding. We're now entering the final phase of the launch countdown for NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The countdown began at 7:03 p.m. (Wikimedia)
• GEORGE DILLER: This is Atlas launch control at T minus 50 minutes and counting, with a single 10-minute, built-in hold remaining. (Wikimedia)
• GEORGE DILLER: This is Atlas launch control, T minus 1 hour, 15 minutes, 15 seconds and counting, leading toward a launch this morning at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. (Wikimedia)
• GEORGE DILLER: This is Atlas launch control. We have with us NASA Launch Manager Chuck Dovale to talk to us about the anomaly that scrubbed today's launch attempt of the Atlas V with the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. (Wikimedia)
• GEORGE DILLER: T minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition and liftoff of the Atlas V rocket with MRO, surveying for the deepest insights into the mysterious evolution of Mars. (Wikimedia)
• GEORGE DILLER: We have with us here now Chuck Dovale, the NASA launch manager for today's countdown. Chuck, it looked like things went fairly smoothly today. CHUCK DOVALE: What a, what a difference a day makes, George. (Wikimedia)
• HOST TIFFANY NAIL: Once the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter reaches its destination, then scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California will have a new and powerful observer of the Red Planet. (Wikimedia)
• HOST: Hello and welcome to NASA Direct's prelaunch webcast for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter mission, the next step in our exploration of the Red Planet. I'm your host, Tiffany Nail. (Wikimedia)
• MISSION CONTROL: We have Spacecraft separation. (Clapping) Centaur has arrested its roll rate. GEORGE DILLER: And we have confirmation of separation now. This....... (Wikimedia)
• NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, or MRO spacecraft, has arrived at Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard a C-17 cargo plane to prepare it for an exciting journey to Mars. (Wikimedia)
• TIFFANY NAIL: So what happens just after liftoff? Just how does the MRO spacecraft get from Earth to Mars? Dr. Richard Zurek, MRO project scientist, takes a closer look with this fascinating animation. (Wikimedia)
• The MRO launch will usher in a first for NASA. The spacecraft will be carried aloft by a Lockheed Martin Atlas V rocket. Mission integration manager Tammy Harrington explains why the Atlas is the rocket for the job. (Wikimedia)
