Or better yet, watch NASA TV with the SpaceX techno in the background. ;)

If Elon Musk owned a club, I bet this is the music that would be played.

Hey, I've even got a name for this club: The Space Bar! :D ;D

Mmmm... Time for some rocket-shaped comestibles...

This being Sunday, and with apologies to  Julia Ward Howe, this is what keeps going through my mind:

I have seen a fiery gospel writ in towering ranks of steel.

Preach it, SpaceX.

I'm downloading the stream on my system, VLC can't take it
My downloading feed and VLC playback is about 17 seconds behind on the flash player.

And a very nice commentator too - she's manager of the dynamic environments group at SpaceX! Very cool! :)

I'm just trying to watch it on their website and all I get is a black rectangle.  It worked last time.

I'm dissapointed.

I expected to see everyone on console at SpaceX mission control sporting mohawks...

Go Falcon!
Go Dragon!

I just can't listen to the SpaceX cast, he sounds so scripted.  ::)
