I don't think I'll need any extra encouragement to get out of bed to watch the launch but you never know. So just in case I do, what is a good wake up song at 3:30 in the morning? Muse "Uprising"  ;D ? Holst-Planets? I was listening to "Jupiter" Friday night and Saturday morning. "Magic Carpet Ride"? might give me a little heart attack since it starts so loud.

these Launch Attempts are too close together for my liver ;D

We need a SpaceX drinking game...
We should add a forum-watching appendix to the drinking game. Drink anytime:

Someone blames software.
Someone defends software.
Someone announces that something proves Spacex's incompetence.
Someone announces that something proves Spacex's genius.
Drink twice of they are talking about the same thing.
Someone speculates about a Falcon with an unusual number of engines.
Someone mentions Merlin 2.

You can talk about all the great things you can do, or want to do, in space; but unless the rocket scientists get a sound understanding of economics (and quickly), the US space program will never achieve the greatness it should.

I just impulsively bought a plane ticket from Buffalo to Orlando! I arrive at 12:05am, head to the launch site, watch the launch, and head back to the airport for a 7:00am flight back.

They better go tonight!!

$230, and nope! But I'll get to hang out with a buddy of mine on the bridge while we wait. And it'll make a ridiculous story even if it gets scrubbed, so whatever :P

Mad props, sir.  That's dedication.

If I like something on NSF, it's probably because I know it to be accurate.  Every once in a while, it's just something I agree with.  Facts generally receive the former.

Reminds me of the time I was on a business trip to Phoenix.  The flight back was around noon.  So that morning me and a friend got up at about 5am drove 2+ hours to Meteor Crater, looked around for half an hour then drove 2+ hours straight back to Phoenix airport.

Here we go again. Will be covering the launch in here if I wake up (and partying if it goes of course).



Somewhat "far out" music to help with the "party" I suppose.

Original version was in fact spaceflight themed, this is just a remix, but a very good one at that( caution, new age music I like some of if but most of you probably won't):

It's been over 15 years since I did that, the details are a little blurry, hence the "+". ;)

Well if I'm going to get up @ 3:30AM to watch this I'd better go to bed now.

I'd love to participate in the drinking party but I have to be at work for 8:30 AM lol

I see a couple of white dots and a reddish vertical bar. 

I'm in the same time zone, and it isn't night yet.  Maybe the aperture setting is out of whack?

According to the press kit, the countdown should be getting underway now, at T-7:30.
