They made an "errant" call earlier (under T-10:00 ) that the LOX Prevalves were opened for launch. Actually they were to close one more time then reopen for launch at T-1:33 for last time prior to Launch. I waited for that call and heard it before posting this. They need to clarify the earlier call on the next launch try to be correct.
