Some random PC screen flashed on the webcast. That was silly :)

Clock recyled to a reasonable time for the window end and counting again. yaay

Also, SES is an awesome customer for extending by 20...

What issue could the spacecraft have that would prevent launch?

I wonder what SpaceX's LOX bill has been after the last week.  ;D ;)

Well, at least it's not a particularly expensive commodity.

They said the spacecraft was not go for launch a few min back. It might be now, but they didn't say what the issue was.

Do you know how impossible it is to get pumpkin pie here in Australia?

I used to have friendly Americans and Canadians who would make me various varieties when I got the urge, but now I have to drive over an hour to get it at the most substandard "diner" I've ever been to.

rtsp://10.32.254.201/cape/cc-lc-cube-enc1.stream

Tried it already. It's an internal NAT address normally. Not that I would expect them to not take that kind of precaution.

It's probably the video stream they're using to stream from and the livestream is doing a screen capture on the computer using that stream.
