Stupid Nasa TV dropped out just at launch!!! SO annoying.

That was a great shot of the engines, you could see the core stage throttled down so it has more fuel once the boosters drop.

NASA stream died before launch for me. Thankfully the spaceflightnow link posted earlier in the thread stayed up. Thanks!

Spoke too soon. It's getting very lumpy now. Maybe they use the same ISP as Apple use for keynotes.

Good outboard booster sep, good chamber pressure in the core booster. It's all going about as well as yesterday went badly!

The BBC also had the stream but their huge banner covered the countdown timer
