Traffic is horrendous right now. Don’t be surprised if remote shots are extremely limited. I doubt many if any can make it in time for set.

SpaceX "x" Broadcast link: https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1ynKOyeDmrwJR

Space-dot-com should be doing a straight re-broadcast of this X stream here on Youtube:

SpaceFlightNow will also have a YT stream going (link), but they do an NSF-style commentary, not just a re-transmit of the SpaceX X stream.

EDIT: dammit, it WAS a straight re-broadcast, but then after the launch they slyly edited it down to just the 10 minutes of flight. Had to watch the pre-launch coverage on stupid Twitter.

NSF webcast has begun.

T-53 minutes. The SpaceX launch director should be verifying go to start propellant loading.
