A Go given on the net. Sounds like it could be the launch director.

Dragon telemetry looks good.

90 seconds.

Everyone feel free to catch the firing. NTV is shaky.

There's a hawk flying around the rocket that's in for a real surprise...

"Dragon in start-up" ?

Something about a transient in the avionics? Sounds like they're trying to clear it.

SpacexULA · « **Reply #97 on:** 04/30/2012 07:02 pm »

How long do they have the range today? Can they recycle?

psloss · « **Reply #98 on:** 04/30/2012 07:02 pm »

Heard some calls about seeing some transients, but as nblackwell posted earlier, we're not hearing LV calls.

Robotbeat · « **Reply #99 on:** 04/30/2012 07:02 pm »

This is why we do static fire tests...

(I believe they have the ability to recycle and do it again today, like they did in other flights. Can't do that on launch day because of instantaneous window, so good that they're getting the bugs worked out now.)
