We announced Planetary Resources to the world nearly a year ago. Join our team for a special Google Hangout on our one-year anniversary on Wednesday, April 24th at 2:00pm Eastern.
We’ll provide a brief year in review, current status on the development of the Arkyd series of spacecraft, and an outlook to the future of asteroid prospecting, exploration and mining!
We'll be taking live questions as well - feel free to submit them below in the comments, or via Twitter with hashtag
Edit: Sorry screwed up the Time Zone abbreviation in title, should be 2:00PM EDT

Update from their Twitter:
"For the 1st time ever, SS2 has lit her rocket engine in flight! A major milestone in human spaceflight. Photos, video, and details to follow"
I presume that video will be posted to their site sometime today.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a live stream at the moment, but have been keeping up to date via their Twitter & Google+ page.

Join our Google+ Hangout to learn about NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the agency's flagship science project that will launch in October 2018. Panelists will discuss program status, explain how the tennis court-sized spacecraft will work, explain its science objectives after launch, and highlight how it will impact the world, just like its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope. You can also ask questions via Google+ and Twitter by using #askNASA!

Program Highlights:
Gives students, teachers and the public access to the most innovative space observation technology ever built – This technology would have cost US$100M+ to build and launch less than a decade ago; and today, it will be controlled by students around the world to explore the cosmos.
Offers the opportunity for the public to directly participate in cutting-edge citizen science and discovery – Delivers a resource to thousands of institutions and researchers in need of greater access to space to further their work and rate of scientific discovery.
Invites the public to participate in Planetary Resources’ asteroid mining mission – Anyone with an interest in space can play a role in opening up the Solar System for human activity.

Following a three-year competition, NASA has selected the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) project at MIT for a planned launch in 2017. The space agency announced the mission — to be funded by a $200 million grant to the MIT-led team — early April.
“TESS will carry out the first space-borne all-sky transit survey, covering 400 times as much sky as any previous mission,” Ricker says. “It will identify thousands of new planets in the solar neighborhood, with a special focus on planets comparable in size to the Earth.”
On Wednesday May 1, 12:00-12:30pm PDT, science writer Bruce Lieberman will ask your questions about exoplanets and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) project in an interviiew with George Ricker, Sara Seager and Joshua Winn.

Update: Looks like the launch is post poned due to weather, will update again once I find the new launch date and time.
Hopefully I converted the time correctly, but the launch coverage starts on Saturday, May 4 @ 3:45 CEST, which I believe is 9:45PM EDT Friday.
9:45PM EDT Launch coverage starts
10:06PM EDT Expected Lift-off time
