Just to make sure I didn't mess up.
The launch is 00:30 UTC  right?

It's 00:35, you are 5 minutes off.

Are you sure that's what she said?


Falcon and Dragon are in the shed right now. Roll-out in another few hours, according  to the briefing earlier. As I recall, roll-out was as late as 1pm if necessary; as early as 6am if weather indicates that would be a good idea. Local times.
I think she said they're planing to put the roket vertical by 1 pm today, but late load of cargo was expected to begin around 6am and the roket needs to be out of the hangar by then.

Any word on the rollout yet?  It's been awfully quiet for the last few hours.

is that a climate and particulate controlled white room on the roll out?   This mission is full of surprises

Very likely this (or based on it) -- documented during the previous launch campaign:

I made a animated gif of the cloud cover. (I made this 50% size, it was about 3mb...)
