Looks like the 2nd stage boiloff has reduce alot.. maybe some purge venting going on a while back

I was wondering about the boiloff too, but it was doing similar last time. Maybe it's the humidity.

The rocket sure seems to be billowing out a lot of boiloff.

You bet!

With Elon Musk in California, he is probably watching this the same way we are... Gwynne is actually in Washington DC running the call. A real virtual company they've got going here...

No wonder they won't launch if the data feed goes down. If I'm paying $100 million for a rocket launch, I'd want to see it too!

Ah, cryogenics in the tropics. Not a problem - unless you run out.

With the mass flow of warm tropical air blowing across the rocket, compared to a calm day it should be expected.

Looks nice and alive. Always a good sign.

Well, also you have to remember that the worst possible thing to happen would be for the thing to blow up... and then for them to realize that the recorders on the island weren't working properly..

They took the 29 second stuff down.
