L-1 minute.  No webcast.  We'll have to rely on the webcams.

Well this is a first for a launch. A webcast available, but not working.

Anyone with a camera in the Pacific ocean? ;)

Hard refresh and they've taken down the player. Still claiming a launch at 20:18GMT, so no scrub notice.

Three minutes to staging. Only a 100 people on that ustream, so that was a very good find that not many people are aware of.
