Wow, the MAXAR Worldview 3 satellite captured the ISS from space. Dang, this is high quality imaging technology. Welcome to Star Trek in 2024, with high quality imaging just as the Enterprise had long-range sensors.

With 7k watching it looks like they are fueling the rocket, which is a good chance of a go.

 

[AlexB23]

Liquid oxygen fueling has started a minute ago. T-15 min now.

 

[AlexB23]

Alright, I am gonna get my laptop hooked up to Roku pairing mode, and screen in the next few minutes.

 

[rockytopva]

T-10 minutes with 12,000 watching live!

 

[AlexB23]

Here is the booster history, as SpaceX boosters are reusable. The booster is 2 years old.

T-10 minutes with 12,000 watching live!

Wooo, yeah. I am excited for this. Now, nearly 13,000 viewers.

Dang. Scrubbed.

[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]! I hate that. Thanks for the company!

 

[AlexB23]

Gets up, flips table (well, I would never do that), slowly walks away, as the mission is cancelled for today.

[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]! I hate that. Thanks for the company!

You are welcome, I enjoy your company as well. Space is awesome, so I will try to be here for most launches. Yeah, I hate that this launch is not happening today. Was looking forward to a beautiful shot of the Merlin engines glowing in the sky.

Ooh, thank you. For this time's sake, I will not add too much information in this thread, as the launch cycle and info about the boosters would be the same as yesterday. But, I will be following this launch.

Currently T-50 min.

 

[AlexB23]

The narrator Mr. Will Robinson-Smith has not spoken yet, since T-50 min.

 

[AlexB23]

The countdown has gone back to T-50 minutes again, up from T-40 min.

Edit: Countdown has been rewound again back to T-50 minutes.

 

[AlexB23]

Sorry @rockytopva , I might have to miss this launch, as my friend wants to hang out, and he has been going through some rough moments. But, I will try to make it to the next launch.

T-14 minutes by the way.

 

[AlexB23]

Hey, the launch aborted. Darn. Come on guys, just launch already. But yeah, now I have to hang with my friend.

Little 30 second T+1:00 video showing the raptor engines actually igniting. I am wondering how close the rocket came to actually exploding.
