Not as dramatic as a Falcon 1 launch attempt, but fun all the same.

Thanks, but I'd rather stay on one site for this, with news on the pre-launch, rather than the advertising of other sites desperate for users.

Hear hear, why don't they buy some advertising rather than distrupting these live threads all the time.

Heh, look at the men in the boosters. That's a big ship when you see the scale there.

Winds are ok, but the gusts aren't. Might clear in time.

Those in the UK. Sky News will be doing the launch live, confirmed. Five News did a very good segment on it (but I did write them a script ;) )

Part of the Fill and Drain valve test (I think he said) did not go as expected on the second part of the test. Hmmm
