The Chanel I’m watching says 16 min.
Delayed
30 minutes so far
I stayed up but I’m thinking another scrub
The problem with the radar, that was because of a bad ethernet connection. Apparently, they have fixed the connection but they have to test it before they can give the go. If they can get everything done before the 2 hour window closes, they may actually get this thing off the ground. Crossing my fingers.
Launched at 1:47..
Thanks. I was listening to the stream, while hunting for something on the TV, and missed the live launch by a couple of minutes, but the neat stuff was over with and went to cartoons and such, I rewound it just a bit and watched the last few minutes before launch, ignition, liftoff, and bailed when I got back to the cartoons.
Splashdown is December 11, 2022.
So 26 days.

"During the nail biting 12.5 minute descent from lunar orbit, the LM’s onboard computer (most critically needed during landing) shut down and recycled 5 times due to an erroneous checklist that had the crew turn on their ship’s radar too early resulting in multiple data overloads."
During the descent, the (very primitive by today's standards) computer displayed a "1202" alarm four times and a "1201" alarm once.
"Eventually the Executive found that there was no place to put new programs. This triggered the 1201 alarm signaling “Executive Overflow — No Core Sets” and the 1202 alarm signaling “Executive Overflow — No VAC Areas.” These in turn triggered a software reboot. All jobs were cancelled regardless of priority then started again as per their table order, quickly enough that no guidance or navigation data was lost. But it didn’t clear up the issue. The computer was still overloaded by the same spurious radar data, stopping new programs from running. In all, it triggered four 1202 alarms and one 1201 alarm."
During descent, Armstrong noted that the programmed course was taking them into a "football field sized crater"; he took over and landed manually a bit further on.
Thanks for the heads up just in time!
Does the crew chief get a suspension for loose bolts /s
Is there a sonic boom when they break the speed of sound? I never hear it when they are announcing the speed.
LOL...
Yes, And must hold on to one of the SRB’s on next Launch and may pop a parachute upon SRB separation.
or
Have a Dinner date with brainless France.
The rocket, when it takes off, heads out over the ocean. There’s no one there to hear the sonic boom once it goes supersonic.
