Gee, why are they delaying the launch so much? Is there an issue?

They aren't providing that information. Could be weather, could be range, could be the vehicle, or GSE.

Speaking of the weather. Anyone remember the link from the radar site we used on at least the first launch?

Heard some talk in the background about LOX loading, and needing to help the helium.....anyone catch all of that?

Liquid oxygen loading has begun.

For everyone with stream issues try this. No guarantees that it will work for everyone!

1: Right-click on the webcast window and select Settings
2: Click on the third button which has an open folder icon
3: Drag the slider all the way to the right until it says Unlimited and click close.
4: Restart the browser and head back to www.spacex.com

Now the webcast should be working pretty good.

A video will be posted sometime after the event of this launch, I have no current time table on when this will be posted, but either tonight or sometime tomorrow. Sorry for the delay!

This is a live update thread, not a webcast technical helpline

No more, or I'll just delete it. Thanks

Pad Crew have left Omelek and begun their boat ride to Meck (a few miles away).
