2 minutes

3..2..1..

Launch! of Soyuz to the ISS

worst rocket launch coverage EVER!

Back to SpaceX


From SFN

"The Falcon 9 rocket is fully fueled with super-cold liquid oxygen and kerosene propellants. Both stages are being replenished with cryogenic oxidizer until the final minutes of the countdown to replace propellant that gradually boils off due to the warm ambient temperatures in Florida.
SpaceX says the webcast of today's launch will begin at 5 p.m. EST (2200 GMT), about 37 prior to liftoff, and continue through cutoff of the second stage engine."

yeah.. :(

I would imagine that with all the clouds around here right now, if it launches the ground based views won't be able to see it for long :(.

Is it just me, or is it really distracting that the guy's shirt is unbuttoned? Maybe I'm just being too anal though.

They are relaxed at SpaceX. I like the other lady that's done all the previous launches. Molly seems nervous.

I do like their "pre-game show" production. Snazzy and informative, hopefully gets people interested in space again.

T-15 minutes

Hold at T-13 minutes for a valve issue on the first stage.

Always drama at SpaceX launches.

Seems like the camera's being shaken by high winds. I'm surprised that's not a range limit violation. Any idea what the wind speeds are over there right now?

Always love how excited the SpaceX employee's are during these launches.

The only thing I've heard is the weather is green for launch

Google claims 15 mph winds, not too bad. Less than half the limit. Guess the camera's just not too sturdy lol.

Did they just cycle back to 19 minutes?

New launch time 5:54 EST in 16 minutes

T minus 16 minutes and counting.

Go for launch T-12 minutes

Boy is this exciting

Abort, what now

Why has the countdown stopped?

Not sure yet. Waiting to hear

I can barely hear that guy, is the launch scrubbed or what?
