Cheops: Just rain showers.

"All green" they said, fingers crossed.

Maybe it will go.

Range control is anticipating a 30 minute weather hold.

Sounds like another delay.

Shot planned hold at T -15 for weather just to make sure rain/wind are not gonna be an issue.

Hold at T - 15

estimated t0 at 10:35 pacific..
so another 47 min to kill

Exactly the same as the shuttle earlier today, 20 minutes ago the sky was clear, now is overcast with deep storm clouds.

Maybe it is the odd-gods not wanting us off the planet today.

Oh well, time for another beer.

GAH! Commentary! NO!

At least the chick is different this time, and possibly better, we shall see.

Zamboro: Am I alone in believing that NASA should never have dropped the Delta Clipper project?

It's not dead yet... shhhhh....

Rain Delays, as reported. stream now shows the hold going up gradually due to weather.

Looks to be clearing up in whatever direction is opposite the steam. Hopefully they get this one up!

Somaticasual: Rain Delays, as reported. stream now shows the hold going up gradually due to weather.

They farked up and started the hold timer at 30 minutes and had it count up instead of down.

There doing a weather brief now, we'll know soon.

actually the hold clock is a count up clock that counts the total time that the countdown has been on hold.
Weather report was good; countdown to resume in 3 minutes.

Countdown to resume in a few minutes...

Wind is still way to strong, no way it's going to happen.

I thought it was counting how long the countdown had been on hold.

T minus 15!

NEWSFLASH: T-15 and counting. stream is rolling.

Looking good for a liftoff I reckon

When they started the hold the counter started at 30 minutes, so unless they had a previous 30 minute hold that wasn't webcast...

Clock is ticking again.

Being too lazy to go upstairs and look, is this being broadcast on NASA TV or just Webcast?

Webcast at SpaceX.

Countdown has resumed. Currently T-12 minutes.

Yes, this is my Boobies in 7 years :)

11 min and counting down... launch is on

Ahh, that makes more sense. I was assuming it was autocalculating for emerging weather patterns..

//another fine example of "KISS"

8 minutes to go! finally

Freakin PR people. STFU.

... sofa line?

mistrowl: Freakin PR people. STFU.

This being a private company, I'm surprised this whole thing isn't slicker looking. At least get some better PP presentations!

These people all sound like dweebs.

I thought they had a 30 minute delay earlier today, but I'm not sure.

and at least find someone who doesn't say "gonna"

Way to come through there RCO, nice job.

Saw the last two of these. The first that was aborted a couple of minutes in, and the second that made it. It was freakin' awesome to be alive in these times to see it (almost) live.

ohboyohboyohboyohboy

Man I hope this works. I love spacex!

/got an offer to work for them
//still wonder if I should have done it

no whammies no whammies no whammies no whammies

Guys I accidentally the rocket...

Sweet!

Liftoff baybee!

Wow that's sweet stage separation!

Nice. Go bird go.

BOOO!


I wanted booms :(

4150meters per second that's fast.

Gorgeous shot of earth below

/drifting, falling

SECO!!! Congra-rats to SpaceX!

I love it when a plan comes together.

No booms tonight....decent but bumpy launch.
