The silence on NTV is deafening.  The longer this hold extends the worse the pit of my stomach feels.

Ive been nervous since I woke up.  That's holding steady.

Ah yeah, that looks better.  I guess I don't really need VLC as long as the playback looks good.

[Idiomatic]

Anyone else a bit dissapointed with SpaceX not having a livestream yet with the website sill announcing that it will be starting ... over an hour ago. They could at least put up a notice.

It says 8:45 AM ET. It's about that time now. Not sure what you mean by an hour ago.

It says 7:30ET for me... still.

That Japanese tuner got too much bling for Dragon...

Hehe, putting blinders on the LIDAR.

If you go to the ustream page http://www.ustream.tv/nasahdtv
then press "Pop out" it's even better.

Oh yeah.

I'd do anything for some HD hand-held footage looking out the Cupola right about now... Maybe later? With 6 folks on board you'd think someone's going to be shooting some footage for later.

Might come via L2 too. 300mb or so of hi res photos from yesterday already in there.

GO DRAGON!

She looks rock solid. Nice up-close shot on NTV

[jongoff]

It's kind of funny seeing Dragon that close and realizing that the Sticky Boom solution I'm currently working on might actually be able to grab it at this point (if it were fully-developed and qualified flight hardware on the station)...
