No sign of this one launching yet? Could someone send me a PM if it does (I'd rather three people did, as opposed to no one) and I'll get Rui's article on (I'll be on e-mail not web access for the interim).
There we go! Now to see if a launch image gets posted...or if I have to use a generic one (Day time launch, yes?)

And the pictures shouldn't take long to come: they would probably come at the noon time news report here (underway right now).Edit: First picture now up.
At lift-off, other launch vehicles drop ice that formed on the exterior of the cryogenic tanks. CZ-4B apparently instead drops ... confetti? What am I failing to understand?
