you can use mms://kscwmserv1.ksc.nasa.gov/ae%20video%20channel%201 or mms://kscwmserv1.ksc.nasa.gov/ae%20video%20channel%202 (the last one will be similar to the ULA webcast).

ULA:
Everything is proceeding for a launch attempt today at 5:42 p.m. and the team is not working any technical issues at this time. We are currently red for cumulus clouds.

Question - a friend of mine is at Kennedy Space Center and has this question:

where will I get a better launch experience - Kennedy visitor center parking lot (close but no direct line of sight ) or port canaveral (further away but direct line of sight)?

Any help would be much appreciated - thanks and let's hope we get a launch!

Sorry Chris - time was of the essence and I was not sure where to look quickly - apologize. I did find the launchphotography site and others with similar questions could look here:

Didn't we have a viewing thread for Cape launches somewhere? We'll need to keep this only on launch updates, so if someone can post we'll redirect people asking about viewing.
