Hey, live view of Jetty Park; I watched the STEREO launch from there about 5-6 years ago. Amazing sight and sound, really wish I was there for this one...

 

[Cosimo]

While we wait for that boat to be sunk....

 

[Glaucus]

Noooo buffering wheel then error.

And we're all go!

nTV-3 is working thank god.

 

[VaderDSL]

Damn winds aborted I think.

 

[Huggie86]

livestream is lagging so much

 

[Cosimo]

New launch time to be determined.

 

[Glaucus]

I don't think it's going to happen, when's the next launch day?

 

[Blinkz]

There is still 2hrs left in the window so fingers crossed they wait and see if the wind reduces to within limits.

 

[chris4652009]

Too windy

 

[Cosimo]

New T0 of 12:55.

 

[Cosimo]

We are now GO for 12:55 GMT.

 

[Blinkz]

Woohoo! Come on Orion, its only a little wind

 

[Cosimo]

[Blinkz]

Grrr bet its wind again!!! Noooooo.

 

[Cosimo]

Aborted.

 

[VaderDSL]

Not going to happen today I bet

 

[Blinkz]

Yup confirmed, wind out of limit again. They seem to be working towards a launch still though....

 

[Combat squirrel]

Hour and 45 mins for the winds to die down

 

[VaderDSL]

At least they're getting a lot of real experience with the launch procedures today Must be the most annoying thing for an astronaut to have to go through multiple holds.

 

[Blinkz]

An inversion is whats causing it and its supposed to break up in around 45mins to an hour....I guess it depends if they wait for that or try another launch in the mean time!
