The amount if information witheld is ridiculous. I expected things to become more open and streamlined after flight 4, not the exact opposite. It's as if they're doing this out of spite.

I think Chris did away with the post that had the direct link to the video feed. That was on-topic and a great find that is more about this launch than about media players. So I'll stubbornly repost it and risk facing the wrath of moderation:

Na, I copied it across

I was just annoyed with getting endless e-mails complaining about the media player posts.

Way hey, we have launch coverage!

Pad crew clear of the pad. (I assume after fixing the faulty valve that Antares mentioned)

possible weather constraint and possible hold at T-15 minutes

William Graham · « **Reply #394 on:** 07/14/2009 02:37 am »

Weather is a constraint, hold at T-15 mins is likely.

Nick L. · « **Reply #395 on:** 07/14/2009 02:38 am »

Stage 1 and 2 fill-and-drain cycling complete and normal.
