And the roomba is kinda rusty. Is that just from stitting by the port for several months?

Wow, this droneship is really beaten up! Are they going to repaint it? They only have one or two days to do it.

Think Serenity vs Enterprise E
Working vehicles get dirty, worn and only occasional refinishing.

Well they have always repainted it before to make it look good and clean. Now, if they launch every two weeks they may not have time to do it.

Does any one here know of a way to watch non-NASA Spacex launches that doesn't involve You-Tube?
I'm in China right now and cannot watch You-Tube.
Thanks to all.

I think it's possible to test-fire B1029's engines tomorrow and launch on the 17th because had AMOS 6 not suffered an RUD, its static fire would have happened on September 1, 2016 and launched less than two days later. That was because the payload was already mounted.

Doesn't payload mount take another day though? They aren't going to static fire with the payload mounted.

Maybe time constraints, but not every launch has needed or will need the drone ship, so it may be more a question of making operations cost-effective, and being less concerned about cosmetic appearances now that they are a very credible launch provider.

If you can access twitch.tv just search for a few nerdy gamers lots of them take a break from gaming to restream and comment on it. Failing that I'm not quite sure, they stream directly to YouTube now days.

Your best bet is to use a VPN, I do this when abroad, although you normally need to install before you get to somewhere like China, quick google gives

Thanks. I was able to access that site. I'll check it out at the next launch, maybe this weekend.

Thanks. Perhaps I should have looked into that before I came. here. Maybe next time, if there is a next time.

Slipped to NET Monday (request to Eastern Range).
Number One, droppin' his verbs ...
Just to be clear, this meant that SpaceX sent a request for the new date to the Eastern Range, not that the Eastern Range requested the slip, right? Because it could be misread the second way.

Spaceflightnow should be carrying the SpaceX feed. They've done that for the last two launches.

If you go that route in places like China, you might want to change the name on your phone. I used a VPN there for Facebook.

So does there have to be no lightning for a static fire?

I would think an unpredictable, unconstrained high-voltage, high-amperage electrical current discharge anywhere nearby would be a Very Bad Thing for a space launch vehicle venting clouds of cold, gaseous oxygen.
