The hold timer is increasing?

A "+" here, a "-" there...

wow...ask and ye shall receive, on the banner! Understandably, their customer might want to see it briefly flashed again a time or two, but it's nice to see the full view of the vehicle. Go Falcon!

Hurray the banner is gone!

I emailed Branden. Don't know if he removed it or if adding the hold clock changed it. I guess we'll see when the hold clock disappears.

you can really see the cloud deck, but as long as there isnt any lightning I think we will be fine:

Man it was blue skies a few minutes ago!!! I think the sun is camera shy today

I have to admit,,, this is the way I like to watch a launch - controller chatter and focused camera's on the vehicle... no talking heads trying to fill time needlessly...

Here is another feed. It didn't have the banner. I found the link on the twitter link posted earlier. http://www.atsb.my/

Edit: ops, sorry

SpaceX can't afford talking heads. 'Course, NASA probably shouldn't.

3:20 local to come out of the hold

spoke too soon on the talking heads

I'm sitting in my favorite chair, checking weather in the SOUTH PACIFIC in real time and watching LIVE images of a rocket about to blast off. WELCOME TO THE FUTURE, lads and lassies.

Hold will be released at 03:20 for launch at 03:35
