NASA's 5-rocket mission to blast off tonight Tonight's the night for NASA's five rockets in five minutes plan, providing the skies stay clear, with the first launch scheduled for sometime between midnight and 1.30am EST (5am to 6.30am on 15 March GMT). The Anomalous Transport Rocket Experiment (ATREX) is hoping to gather the information needed to understand the high- …
