T-50 minutes. LOX loading should be starting in five minutes.

T-2mins to start of LOX load. No constraints to proceeding at this time.

45 minutes and counting. LOX load should start now.

Hmmm.... we've gone past the point where I should have heard the LOX load start call.

Loop is quiet.

T-40 minutes. Not seeing any venting at the moment.

LOX venting just seen. Good indicator that LOX loading is underway.

That's the 3rd LOX venting event seen. Still no official confirmation that LOX loading is underway, though.

Steven Pietrobon · « **Reply #108 on:** 06/23/2017 06:35 pm »

T-35 minutes. Venting is occurring, about every two minutes by my estimation.

Steven Pietrobon · « **Reply #109 on:** 06/23/2017 06:39 pm »

The first big vent.

Go that funky music!
