I want to see something to go into space!!!!

[GeronL]

Lets go already

[GeronL]

Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh..

7:30 Pacific time.. duh

[BallyBill]

Kwajallean I believe

[BallyBill]

I believe I may have Bob's fate in store for me too. So as soon as my wife can longer work both jobs, I'm divorcing her and moving out.

I can't be watching the Military Channel 24/7 with her running around the house.

I'm pretty sure this is correct information:

Kwajalein Atoll
Marshall Islands
On the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site.

[Kakaze]

I’m now getting live streaming on Kevins link 27 min until launch.

[PureSolace]

me too :)

[LayoutGuru2]

Thanks a bunch! Watching live feed now.

[PureSolace]

Looks like a storm is rolling in... if I understand the lingo, they’re gonna hold for 3 hours, then blast off.

[Kakaze]

They can only hold until 12 am est.

[Domandred]

Yea not listening, but watching. Palm trees blowing and looks like lots of clouds.

[PureSolace]

You’re right, they said they’ll restart the launch timer in about 30 minutes-ish :)

[GeronL]

this is getting annoying.... now its a hold for another 15 minutes

[Beaten Valve]

Rain drops on the camera lens.

Sure doesn’t look like a good time to be launching a rocket.

[TYVets]

In the late '50's and '60's NASA had lots of "holds" , delays, explosions,,,, you name it.All at taxpayers expense.

This is Capitalism at work, love it

[George from New England]

my webcast is audio only, the video constantly says loading and no picture ever appears. But I can hear.

[GeronL]

I have really nice video on mine

[Hell to pay]

Looks like blue skies coming up and launch in 16 minutes.

[PureSolace]

For the video-less...Here's a few pictures I snapped of what they're showing...

I have just the opposite situation: video is pretty clean but audio is not streaming properly and most of the talk is truncated.
