After more than a week of scrubbed launches, NASA employees and enthusiasts finally got to see the KiNet-X mission take to the skies Sunday night.
The launch from NASA s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia was originally scheduled for May 7 and was expected to be visible to people all across the East Coast of the United States and in Bermuda. But night after night, officials scrubbed the launch, and after a point, it seemed like it would never happen.
Mattapoisett resident Annette Ball DeMaris still held out faith and said she and her husband went to Ned s Point every night in hopes of seeing the launch with their own eyes. And when (the second) Sunday night rolled around, they were able to catch something pretty special during NASA s final effort to launch the rocket.

One of the challenges of the pandemic for schools like Old Colony Vocational Technical High School in Rochester is that it has cut down on the amount of real world experience many of its students can acquire.
Normally, the cosmetology students at Old Colony have the opportunity to do manicures, pedicures, cuts and colors on staff members and members of the general public. COVID-19 restrictions, however, have made it impossible for the school to open its doors to service people in the community.
Tammy Hoyle and Jessica Bearce are both cosmetology instructors at the school. When they noticed that School Lunch Hero Day was coming up, they decided it would be a perfect way to not only pamper the seven women who make up the cafeteria staff, it would also be a great opportunity for the junior class to get some hands-on experience.
