      <title>Launch of Kepler via Delta II Rocket on 03/07/09 (Full launch to SECO-1)</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/spacevidcast/videos/71/&quot; title=&quot;Launch of Kepler via Delta II Rocket on 03/07/09 (Full launch to SECO-1)&quot; &gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/thumbnail.action?token=b995abd1&amp;size=1&quot; width=&quot;114&quot; height=&quot;86&quot; alt=&quot;Launch of Kepler via Delta II Rocket on 03/07/09 (Full launch to SECO-1)&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
The Kepler telescope launched aboard a Delta II rocket on March 3rd, 2009 at 3:49am UTC.

The Kepler Mission will use a space photometer developed by NASA to search for Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. It will observe the brightness of over 100,000 stars over 3.5 years to detect periodic transits of a star by its planets (the transit method). The mission is named in honor of Johannes Kepler.

Kepler is a mission under NASA's Discovery Program of low-cost, focused science missions. NASA's Ames Research Center is the home organization of the science principal investigator and is responsible for the ground system development, mission operations and science data analysis. Kepler mission development is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Ball Aerospace &amp; Technologies Corp. is responsible for developing the Kepler flight system. &lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/spacevidcast/&quot; &gt;spacevidcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&#xD;
Good times! We catch up with everything that has happened on STS-126 and discuss why no one seems to care what happens in space... until something goes wrong.  Also if you are in grades 1-12, you have a chance to name the next Mars rover and maybe get to sign it too!  All that and more on this weeks episode of SpaceVidcast!

&#xD;
The Expedition 18 / TMA-13 Soyuz Rocket launched on October 12th, 2008 at 7:01am UTC destined for the International Space Station.  This is the full media event as seen on NASA TV.  Liftoff occurs one hour in to the video, but there is some great video rolled throughout, so we decided to post the whole thing.

Docking wit the International Space Station should occur October 14th at 8:38am UTC and we will be covering it *live* at &lt;a href="http://www.spacevidcast.com/live"&gt;http://www.spacevidcast.com/live&lt;/a&gt; and making the video available on-demand on your favorite video sharing site!&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/spacevidcast/&quot; &gt;spacevidcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

A closer look at Enceladus, sending your message from Earth and a new liquid telescope in our news.  Space is not just a dangerous business, sometimes it can also be fatal.  In this episode we look into some explosions as well as some national tragedies.  The sacrifices, heroes and failures that allowed us to learn, improve and get to where we are today, laying the groundwork for an incredible tomorrow.

      <title>SpaceX reaches orbit with Falcon 1 - Flight 4</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/spacevidcast/videos/60/&quot; title=&quot;SpaceX reaches orbit with Falcon 1 - Flight 4&quot; &gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/thumbnail.action?token=deb48d27&amp;size=1&quot; width=&quot;114&quot; height=&quot;86&quot; alt=&quot;SpaceX reaches orbit with Falcon 1 - Flight 4&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
SpaceX is the only private company to ever reach earth orbit with their Falcon 1 rocket.  This is the FULL 40 minute webcast from about T-10 minutes until well after SECO.  We didn't want to cut out the chorus of cheering after the SpaceX crew realized that they had just made history!

While Scaled Composites did reach space twice and thus winning the Ansari X PRIZE, they did not actually reach orbit.  The Falcon 1 with its simulated payload is the first private vehicle to reach orbit on Sunday September 28th, 2008 at 23:31 UTC.

Space flight forever changed today.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/spacevidcast/&quot; &gt;spacevidcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&#xD;
This is the last time two space shuttles are scheduled to be on both launch pads at the same time.  This even has not happened since 2001, and it is a rarity that is an amazing sight.  After Space Shuttle Atlantis launches (No earlier than October 14th, 2008) Space Shuttle Endeavour will be moved from pad 39B to pad 39A allowing NASA to retire pad 39B and redesign it for use on Constellation.

China nearly doubles their astronaut roster, Russia doubles their funding... and decided to build a space center in Cuba.  We also take a look at OnOrbit.com, and talk endlessly about the upcoming STS-125 with Space Shuttle Atlantis (OV-104) and as a backup Space Shuttle Endeavour (OV-105).

STS-125 with Space Shuttle Atlantis is due to launch October 10th, 2008 (at this time at least). This pre-flight briefing covers Atlantis and the final servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope or HST. Not one of the feint of heart, this briefing lasts just a pinch over an hour, so hunker down and get ready for some action packed NASA geek talk!&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/spacevidcast/&quot; &gt;spacevidcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
