.... and the webcast is live at Omelek!

Apparently it's T+29... yet the Falcon sits on the pad.

It's looking a bit windy, but relatively cloud-free.

They can always figure out the amount of fuel left in the second stage and use that to determine what the maximum payload could have been for that launch.

Launch site is in the middle of this image (K).

kind of weird the way the picture is waving back and forth...must be the wind moving the camera..

Is it me, or is the whole stack swaying back and forth?

Hey, video is up. Looks like the camera is swaying a bit. Makes the rocket look like it's wobbling...

I hope it's not this glitchy for the launch, every time it freezes 10000 people will suffer profound anxiety...

is the the T+29 seconds count shown on the picture when the last attempt failed and this is just a carryover from then ??

Of course a large cloud would move in JUST after I wrote that. My luck with queues seems to be expanding to so many other areas of my life...

The webcast is going a little sketchy for me, stopping every now and then to buffer... is it me or anyone else is having this problem too?

Orbiter Obvious · « **Reply #312 on:** 03/19/2007 08:47 pm »

They'll be testing the webcast I bet. It's not meant to start till the top of the hour.

I think that is a data compression (or somesuch) artifact.

Yea it has to be because the stack is swaying in synch with the trees on either side.

I was thinking the same.

The last one hit the water at around that time (I think).

Media conference (countdown) has started.

Nick L. · « **Reply #318 on:** 03/19/2007 09:00 pm »

Webcast should be starting very soon! Good luck Falcon!

William Graham · « **Reply #319 on:** 03/19/2007 09:01 pm »

Does your clock still say T+29?
