SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.1 - SES-8 - Let's Get Restarted In Here Party Thread

[dlapine]

Sadly I'm not partying as hard as you guys because my feed keeps pausing, Each time it pauses i fall a bit farther behind real time. not sure if others are seeing this or not.

If I refresh the page it picks up but all those pauses, restarts, refreshes etc are costing time (and nerves)

Here's hoping we come out of the hold quickly and get under way again

the broadcast from spaceflightnow has been steady and up to date, just a low res.

Just happy my commute was light tonight, and made it home in 1 hour 30 just in time to catch the hold!!!

Have already chrome casted to the TV.

Now just waiting for the wife to give me a chore...

From those close up shots makes it look like it has its own self-generated snow storm.

I had this problem in Firefox, but in Chrome feed is ok and does not pause for me. Try to switch browsers.

Sitting in my favorite watering hole watching coverage on an Ipad, and having an adult beverage.  It doesn't get any better than this!

Now I don't feel so much alone, sitting here with my liquid dinner, listening in and following ;-) here in my little dug out LOL Go Molly, Go SpaceX you rock 

ps is there going to be a MM fan club

Do Space X have more female employees than other companies in this line of work as on these webcasts there seems to be a greater female presence?

I only have PR stuff, Twitter and the crowds that show up behind Mission Control to judge by, but it's always looked to me like they have a very solid representation of women-in-STEM. Thoughts? (Also possible: my expectations are so abysmally low that I get excited by any representation whatsoever... )

[oiorionsbelt]

I am hoping that a young dynamic company like Space X would also have a better gender balance than the older companies in the industry.

There is always something, huh. 

[sojourner]

Damn. think that's it for the day?

[Star One]

Damn. think that's it for the day?

Looks like it could be!

[yatpay]

There's still time in the window. Any chance they'll recycle and still go for it today?

it is they are going through abort procedures... something came up suddenly

edit how much time do they have for turn around...

You know you are a space geek when the first thing you do after arriving home is turn on the computer, manually type in spaceX.com/webcast and chrome cast it to the TV.

All while having an 80lbs dog in your face saying feed me, feed me!!!

Lucky for him, another hold was declared!!!
