Hope this is better than the last ESA launch on a Rokot
It is interesting you mention that. I have been thinking alot about the CryoSat launch. It is always a risk to put another important mission on the same launcher that doomed CryoSat.

But if they took that attitude, it would eliminate just about every rocket in the world.

Of course, you are right..

According to wikipedia, Rokot had a total of 11 successful launches, 1 failure and 2 successes since that CryoSat failure.
I'd say the doom and gloom feelings are a bit over the top here.

Moved for live coverage (will require help we're obviously dominated by STS-119).

Would be great if someone would help with liftoff pics as my system is dead-slow today. Trying to get as much as possible, but could use help when things get busy.

I seem to remember that this happens just at T = -60 seconds.
