Anyone noticed that the Youtube channel has 2 camera's? One with the hosted webcast, the other with the countdown net. First time for this?

Yeah, I think so. I wonder if this is the replacement for the technical webcasts, or if this 'camera' will actually contain different views of the rocket?

Either way it's a better solution than separate streams.

I noticed that John is targeting a more general and less spaceflight savvy audience in anticipation of a broader audience for this launch.

abaddon · « **Reply #509 on:** 02/06/2018 07:30 pm »

Are we anticipating a final upper-level winds update before launch?

Still sticking with the hosted webcast though.

Almost 1 million watching the live stream. I don't think any other launch has come anywhere close.

Because they were on broadcast or cable TV

I think they meant compared to any other SpaceX webcast.

Youtube channel jumped from ~650k to 1.2mil and climbing in the last 15 or so minutes.

As long as they don't blow up the pad, this is going to be awesome! (Please don't blow up the pad.)
