Launch attempt at the top of the hour - countdown proceeding to that target.

I think that the noisy room may actually be the audio feed from control in Kwajalein...they just seem to be focused on other things instead of updating California or us. The SpaceX rep in CA (Larry Williams) apologized that there wasn't much interesting to hear yet...although it sounds like someone just got their video projector working.

I wish them the best of luck. This could be a monumental day.

A T- countdown would be great

To which ever deities it may concern; please let this one go smoothly. Us humans could really use this break. Thanks in advance!

And then lost the feed and went to an ad break! Argghhhh!

T-2 mins and counting.

Williams(SpaceX): Less than t-2 minutues, exact time being checked on now.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #53 on:** 11/26/2005 08:08 pm »

ONE HOUR DELAY.

braddock · « **Reply #54 on:** 11/26/2005 08:08 pm »

Williams(SpaceX): Just received an e-mail from kwajalein taht they have a 1 hour delay. Don't know the reason for the delay at this point.

They are now aiming for 2pm Pacific Coast time US.

Launch hold comfirmed. One hour hold. More details to follow.

braddock · « **Reply #56 on:** 11/26/2005 08:10 pm »

Just a note: Larry Williams from SpaceX, who is trying to keep us updated, is the SpaceX VP for International and Government Affairs.

That close to T-0 it almost sounds like a scheduled hold. I'm really interested in their launch sequence with such a tiny crew. This is great.

Tap-Sa · « **Reply #58 on:** 11/26/2005 08:11 pm »

The communication between SpaceX HQ and Kwajalein happens via email at a moment like this???

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #59 on:** 11/26/2005 08:11 pm »

Nobody seems to know what the heck they are doing! No reason for the hold at this time.
