Now that the cork is no longer on the 1st stage the icing is much more impressive.

Good call. Learning experience with an actual webcast!

The forum's at about 35 percent of the visitations we get for a Shuttle LAUNCH. Launch day should be fun.

Does anyone have sound on the video?

Standing by for terminal count sequence.

Strange, sounds like they might only have the Dragon net on audio, but not the countdown net.

Yes. Both from the SpaceX feed and NASA's.

Oooh, I just go audio on NASA TV. Wasn't sure if it was working before.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #72 on:** 04/30/2012 06:49 pm »

Past the Readiness polling. T-11 mins.

Dragon terminal count autosequence started.

Dragon batteries fully charged - standing by to go internal.

For the record, I'm seeing a 19 second lag on the SpaceX webcast, assuming that the T- clock is aiming for exactly 3:00:00. The NASA TV retransmission is another 5 seconds back.

Also, in the NASA TV transmission, the video frame is significantly cropped, but only in the horizontal. You can't see the red "Live" bug in the upper left corner at all. I estimate about 6% is lopped off each side; top and bottom are also cropped but just barely.

Terminal Count.

Must admit, I've never liked that name. Has a bit of a morbid connotation.

Config Aux Power for switchover (Dragon).

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #79 on:** 04/30/2012 06:53 pm »

Dragon Batteries on Bus - and on to internal power.
