I have only watched Spacex and Shuttle launches, will this one include the cameras on the 2nd stage like Spacex?

I would not believe so.  This is a classified mission.  The Titan rockets and Delta II's (IIRC) do not have them on the second stage either.

I have a question - is this video/webcast copyright protected? Are we allowed to post photos/videos on websites/forums?

The last Delta IV Heavy had a 2nd stage camera. Both launches up until now had at least the 1st stage cameras.

Thanks Chris.  I'll be watching. 

Is there a way that things like webcast links could be pinned at the top of every page in live coverage threads, separately from the discussions?
I'll even excitedly look forward to "flags and footprints" and suborbital missions. Just fly...somewhere.

It wouldn't do much good. You'd be able to see the 1-2 sep, second stage nozzle deploy, and second stage start. The fairing sep (and thus the end of the webcast) happens only a few seconds later.

I'm having lots of delay and trouble with the various webcasts.  Must be in high demand.

I guess they need to fly the HLV more often so people get more use to it.

GO DELTA!
