Let's hope third time's the charm, gonna be able to watch live today.

 

[Elfforkusu]

I do think it was very kind of them to scrub two launches just so more of us could watch live.

Bad LOX seals are the real MVP!

 

[Jezbollah]

Take 3 in 1hr time.

Looks like winds are the Cape are stronger than expected right now..

18:17 T-minus 30 minutes

T-minus 30 minutes and counting. Today's launch is timed for 6:47:00 p.m. EST (2347:00 GMT) at the opening of a 94-minute launch window. SpaceX's webcast is due to begin at 6:25 p.m. EST (2325 GMT), and you can watch it here.

18:13 T-minus 35 minutes

The Falcon 9's automatic countdown sequencer has begun as engineers will soon oversee the fueling of the rocket with thousands of gallons of super-chilled propellants.

The SES 9 satellite team has been instructed to switch the spacecraft to internal battery power.

Feed is live.

 

[Oriel]

Hopefully we'll be successful today.

 

[Khayam]

Let's do this people.

 

[Nelo Ice]

3rd time's the charm legoo!

 

[NightOnyx]

I'm ready! I hope it goes tonight, and I really hope they can land it.

 

[cameron]

Abort. Pooh.

 

[Lonestar]

sweet, made it back in time to see it hopefully launch



FUUUUURK

 

[sensi97]

Hold

 

[Oriel]

WTF! Again?

 

[Staab]

goddamn

 

[E-Cat]

Again? Ugh.

 

[Oriel]

Flight computer not started up. This is so frustrating.

 

[Hrothgar]

Foul range, probably a boat downrange again.

 

[Jezbollah]

"Fouled range"

Its either weather or some fucking boat or plane in the range

 

[Oriel]

Foul range, probably a boat downrange again.

Get the fucking Navy to blow it out of the water. Gah, this is so annoying!

 

[TyrantII]

Falcon9 launch window is 90+ minutes long, so we may be able to wait out whatever’s is violating the safety range.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

If it's a boat/plane in area of launch they should be arrested. How fucking stupid can you be.

 

[Last_colossi]

But seriously, this thing costs a bomb so they should take as much time as they need.

 

[E-Cat]

Falcon9 launch window is 90+ minutes long, so we may be able to wait out whatever’s is violating the safety range.

They will need to reload the LOX in that case, right?

 

[Oriel]

A possible ship in the keep out zone.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Yup a fucking boat. Arrest the assholes.

 

[cameron]

Not scrubbed for the moment. Webcast says there might be a ship in the range.

 

[Last_colossi]

Yay, so they might still be able to launch!

 

[Jezbollah]

The Supercooled fuel is an issue as long as it remains on the ground.

 

[Oriel]

Yay, so they might still be able to launch!

SpaceX are hoping to.

[Trickster]

Yup a fucking boat. Arrest the assholes.

Just use the ship as a landing platform after reentry ^_^

Oh well, gonna brew some tea then and buckle up for a longer night.

 

[East Lake]

On the first trip to Mars I'm gonna be down there with my kayak trolling the launch.

 

[E-Cat]

Land the rocket on those assclown sailors.

Preferably an Apache gunship.

Somebody on Reddit is saying it's the Gianella. Looks like a supply/cargo boat
