SpaceX are currently targeting an 20:30 EDT (00:30 GMT) roll-out to the pad which is 5 minutes before launch according to NASA. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/living/launch/index.htmlAlthough, the briefing apparently said differently according to Joffan, has something changed or has NASA messed up somehow?Could someone explain as I am currently confused.Looking forward to it, even though I will be sleeping for the launch.

I am betting a hundred bucks that it is rolling out at 8:30 am EDT...

Welcome to the site's forum, but remember this is a PARTY thread.We have general discussion and an update thread running on this mission - and the rollout time would be an update.Just making sure we don't have people treating this as a one stop thread, because it's not.Speaking of which, the launch day thread will go up later. No need for one yet, as this isn't even close to Shuttle's event filled coverage when it comes to a countdown.
Looks like late loading has occurred.
I got a bad feeling with the weather.
New one - after the previous gained 130,000 views (heh).Post absolutely anything you like (providing it's clean and about SpaceXey things). Got to keep the update threads clean!
