About an hour away from launch. I'd like to thank @SES_Satellites for taking a chance on @SpaceX. We've given it our all.

Webcast up and running ahead of live coverage. Yes the music is "funky", but keep those comments on the party thread. Every post in this thread should be an update, and nothing else.

And off we go with the webcast. Remember, updates only. I don't mind duplicate screenshots - those are always welcome. Nice good resolution launch images especially.
