a successful launch for nasa from the pad at wallops island. the multiple user suborbital instrument carrier, or music was sent up into space this morning. this launch has been delayed and rescheduled several times because of weather and payload issues. the rocket carried engineering projects and experiments from west virginia university, developed through a nasa program at the school. nasa astronaut scott kelly is getting ready to come hom later today. he has been at the international space station longer than any other astronaut ever. his current mission has lasted almost a year. kelly says he is feeling good as he prepares for his flight back. after he lands, he'll go to houston where doctors and scientists will perform tests on him. mission in space. . meanwhile, here on earth, nasa is investing in a supersonic passenger plane. nasa granted a 20-million dollar contract to lockheed martin to develop a passenger jet that can go faster than the speed of sound. nasa says the plan is intended to make flying faster, safer, greener, and quieter. t

nasa is also working on a big a quiter supersonic passenger jet. nasa says its " quiet s-s-t" would also be "leaner and greener" than current commerical jets. engineers say the trick to getting rid of the sonic boom is to change the way air flows around the plane so it doesn't create shockwaves. nasa says its design could wisk you anywhere in the world in just six hours. nasa hasn't said when weather summary: there is a slight chance of snow showers prior to daybreak saturday. as a fast-moving clipper moves our way and taps into our cold air mass, there is a brief window in the morning between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. that we could see some snow showers and rain mixing over the tri-state. no accumulation is expected, as temps will be rising quickly. we'll keep a chance of rain in the forecast saturday through 8 p.m. it won't be a washout, but the chance for light showers is there. highs will top out near 50.clouds stick around saturday night into sunday but will scour away by mid-morning sunday, and sunshine returns to the tri-state as highs break the 50

nasa says the plan is to make flying safer, greener, and quieter. i think a lot of folks are being interested in getting across the country in half the time in one of those. a live look right now at i-4. work has picked back up on the i-4 ultimate project. traffic officials tell us they are hopeful that things will be back to normal and fully staffed by friday. the project was temporarily shut down last week after a worker was killed by a dump truck along wymore road near kennedy boulevard wednesday. since then, project leaders have been performing safety reviews, hoping to prevent another deadly accident. some parts of central florida saw a gas price spike overnight, and the rest of us will be seeing it soon. aaa says prices will be rising at least 10 cents a gallon in march. they blame spring break travel demand, and refinery maintenance. orlando' s average right now is $1.65, but several stations jumped above that in the last 24 hours. jason: it' s super tuesday. what to watch for this morning as the polls open. michelle: and this morning the tod
