Post by: James Lowe1 on 12/29/2005 01:01 am: That is a change as ILS on the 22nd had it at the later time. 9:05 pm East Coast is the right time now on their webcast, which hasn't started yet with 15 minutes to go! It is just the opening of the window, however.

She's not going at 9:05pm EST, as they are starting coverage at about 9:08pm EST.

Going to the specific thread now for the coverage.

Try loading this again http://streamvox.streamos.com/vyvx/ils120505/ then forward to 56 minutes, 55 seconds (it'll have to buffer again) and you'll get to see the ILS 2005 end of year review - which is a great three minute video of their launches this year.
