I don't see any mention of a briefing at 1 PM?

Check NASA TV schedule.

I am, still can't find it. Is that 1 PM Eastern?


The 1pm Eastern Mission Briefing listed on NASA's schedule is on Friday, 25th...

There's also one today. Just wait until TW@N is done.

According to the mission timeline Dragon should of demostrated a full abort by now. Does anyone know if that was succesful?

I guess they're on Houston time. Briefing should begin in 45 minutes.

I'm thinking that the schedule up on http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/schedule.html was based on C2+ launching on the 19th, but since the lanuch was done this morning then the briefing will be done later, as shown on the cots schedule: http://www.nasa.gov/exploration/commercial/cargo/cots_tv_schedule.html

So probably no briefing today.

For YEARS I have been swearing by this schedule:

http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/MM_NTV_Breaking.html

... and it say no briefing today.  Next briefings are:

May 24, Thursday  10 a.m. ET - SpaceX/Dragon Mission Status Briefing
May 25, Friday        1 p.m. ET - SpaceX/Dragon Mission Status Briefing

That's not including live coverage, of which there will be plenty.  Check the above link.

Here's a link to the timestamp you wanted with the spark.

Gerst notes he's worked with a lot of teams down at the Cape, but there are none better than SpaceX (ULA just fell off their chairs).

I agree with this totally.  That doesn't mean SpaceX is better than the ULA team or Shuttle team.  There are many top-tier, equally talented and professional launch and mission ops teams.  SpaceX has assembled many experienced people from Delta, Titan, Atlas, Shuttle, satellites, airlines, etc.

Just because the company is new doesn't mean (all of) the people are.
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.

By the way I forgot to post the weather ob from launch time... The report out of the Shuttle Landing Strip is no longer disseminated, so I grabbed one from Patrick AFB.

And a quick one from me. Going to write an article now based on where we are and setting us up through phasing.

Sources/L2 saying zero (and I mean zero) issues on the SpaceX hardware side from countdown to this point, which is astronishing.

very good keep it that way....

on the other hand a play on words.....we have a flying dragon above our heads.   Just keep the dragon away from the x-37B or you buy it.
