A bold satellite rescue mission came together in record time, but will it work?
"I consider this a success already, just from the fact that we're even going to try this."

Holy shit, there's still an L-1011 flying?
"Northrop Grumman’s L-1011 carrier jet will transport the 58-foot-long (18-meter) Pegasus rocket with the Link servicing satellite to a location over the remote equatorial Pacific Ocean near Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The multi-day journey to Kwajalein from the Pegasus integration base in Virginia began Thursday with the L-1011’s departure from Wallops. Launch is scheduled for June 27."
