Nick , whats your URL from VLC?

Sorry folks , not having a good connectivity day..

http://bglive-a.bitgravity.com/spacex/highquality/native

Bit flaky though - keeps freezing up every 2-5 minutes and I have to pause and unpause it to keep it going. Also, no sound - I've got the SpaceX webcast site and the scanner feed up at the same time for audio. :(

this is all very annoying given there is nothing wrong with the actual rocket

Reminds me of the Ares I-X launch.

Unidentified vessel is crossing the zone. Chopper on the way to identify. May be through the zone by the time chopper arrives.

Also, you may want to try this:

Seems to be a bit more stable. Fingers crossed...

And for anyone else looking, you can find both links on the first page in this thread.

Of course, Ares-I-X also had some scarily-tight weather restrictions too.

As a fellow Mariner, I'm pretty disappointed in how often people are wandering into the exclusion zone. KSC is not exactly a new phenomenon, and the USCG is not chewing you out over the radio for their own health.

For those watching via SpaceVidCast, I note the time delay between that feed and the primary SpaceX feed is only 3 or 4 seconds.

Unlike the NASA TV web feed, which can run 30-120 seconds delayed.

Anybody have a link to the Notice to Mariners that reserved this corner of the ocean?
