PLEASE NOTE THAT WE FULLY EXPECT THE SITE TO BE VERY BUSY ON LAUNCH DAYS FOR SPACEX MISSIONS. IT IS POSSIBLE WE WILL RESTRICT IT TO FORUM MEMBERS ONLY - WITH NO ACCESS TO THE FORUM FOR GUESTS - IF THE SITE BECOMES TOO BUSY. READ THIS: http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=31697.0)
^^ Per the above, and from lessons learned yesterday, we will very likely restrict to L2 and Logged in Members from T-10 minutes to 30 mins after S/C Sep. This site is simply too busy these days to cope with all the guests and thus we need to prioritize members. -

Still nothing from SpaceX - for 17 hours now.
They will have to begin fuelling in around 90 minutes time to make this window. -

Some SpaceX updates were offered yesterday from the air support units on the KSC scanner feed at Broadcastify.com - might be worth a listen.

Ok, I know this is an update thread, but we're lacking the main ingredient of a frakking webcast.
If you can keep an ear on that one Rob.
Everyone, we need to be careful with twitter. Some tweets may not be accurate. Be careful with that. Aim for observers at the launch site, etc. -

That set of storms will be gone, but it may take a bit to reduce cloud cover. And more storms may pop at any time.

From a few moments ago...still too close for comfort, understand now why no webcast...

L-75 mins.
Some L2 coverage....they've loaded the vehicle and still on track. Starting to understand why they aren't webcasting, but I'm not saying anything in the open forum.
