May opt to hold at T-13 mins. We'll know shortly.

Yep. Holding at T-13 mins due to a valve issue on the first stage.

We're not hearing the discussions on the net, but that's standard for all.

Interesting that there was no audio feed for the hold. Or my player glitched.

SpaceX is open... to a point.

It frustrates NASA too. They don't share all their comm channels

They all do that to be fair. ULA go to an anomaly net and such.

This is the update thread...

Well it's a 66 minute window, so plenty of time. But if it needs hands on, that'll scrub it.

Jim · « **Reply #53 on:** 11/25/2013 09:32 pm »

Range doesn't care

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #54 on:** 11/25/2013 09:33 pm »

Top and bottom.
