I'll stick with 6 total.
Their software problems have been there since launch one.
If they do overcome them, congratulations.
My attitude is based in practicality not negativity.
Again, delays, obviously inherent.
Theirs consist of sequencing from day one. If they had delays that were of a varied nature, I'd be encouraged.

Anyone know why there are four towers around the rocket? I never saw a launchpad with those before.

we will see if they can hammer out the engineering problems on their sequencing...which I doubt due to too many variables. Your doubts have been noted.

Those for towers are for lightning.

Those for towers are for lightning. Did NASA use a different system for their launches? Or is there something about this rocket that might be more attractive to lightning, or more dangerous if it hits (lack of grounding, etc.)?

There are only 24 viewers at the HD launch feed link I gave. SpaceFlightNow has about 5,000 viewers right now for their video feed.

Not sure, but I believe it’s because there is no gantry protecting the rocket as there was with the Shuttle.
