Seriously? What made you time that orbit. What makes it more sad....is that I checked!
We're detail-oriented people around here :)
...and for now there is nothing better to do.

There's always a dropoff after scrubs. Now we know SpaceX scrubs are not that different. :)

I have my F9 T-shirt with distressed logo on, and my SpaceX track top as it's bloody freezing.  So a perfect launch is guaranteed.



I have my F9 T-shirt on too, concealed by a sweater.  They've just recently started selling long-sleeved T-shirts.  I wish they had sweatshirts, but since they're headquartered in Southern California, that thought has probably not occurred to them.

3 days ago there were >2300 people checking NSF at the busiest point. Right now it's at ~1300....

So it should be......with their family and friends.

SpaceX going for the tecno/trance music this time.

I really wish they would list their tracklist they use. Some of these songs are quite good.

LEO is the ocean, not an island (let alone a continent). We create cruise liners to ride the oceans, not artificial islands in the middle of them. We need a physical place, which has physical resources, to make our future out there.

This webcast music makes me think I'm in Elon's basement at a private party trying to talk over it.

"ELON! What's your plans for Mars?"

"WHAT?"

"WHAT'S YOUR PLANS FOR MARS?!"

"Yeah, he's a good DJ, he's from Holland".

There are smartphone apps (like Shazam) that might help you recognize music.

Shouldn’t we send a priest or a rabbi out to the pad? Maybe the Russians know something we don’t about launch success...  ;)

You sure he is middle aged... looks like at least 55... but then I'm biased...  :o

edit, perhaps a bit jealous, seeing him sitting there with Molly ;D
