Will be avaible some webcast to look at this "pocket rocket"? :)

Could be a problem! Nothing on Orbital's site, not even a release on the upcoming launch.

Kind of hoping something will appear here:

But looks doubtful.

No webcast, so we can't do this one live.

The problem is with ground equipment, not the rocket.

I think you all can watch the launch on the  NASA web site ELV countdown portal.
