Hey there! NASA will launch the Orion Space capsule for the very first time on top a Delta IV Heavy very soon. Launch time is supposed to be 7:05 am EST with an over 2 hour long launch window. The (for this mission) unmanned Orion will be launched to an altitude of about 3600 miles and then do a reentry and the splash down in the pacific. You can watch all the action live here: http://www.ustream.tv/nasahdtvSo long!

No launch for today.
Problems with valves in 2 of the boosters.
Will try again in 24 hours.
