I'm streaming the NASA live stream on YouTube via Chromecast but can only get 480p even when I select 720.

I think the ground crew suits look good too, I'm sure they may be influenced by covid at the moment a little but they look like ninjas

60:40 no-go for launch currently. Weather conditions.

Are these the oldest ever astronauts to go into space? 49 and 53 years old.

 

[sigma]

What's the latest that it can be scrubbed due to weather?

John Glenn - was 77 when he went up in Space Shuttle Discovery in 1998.

Could well be the dawn of commercial space flight and the start of a new space race to profit from the giant vaccum that is space.

Ah right, thanks.

*fingers and toes crossed for the weather holding out across all sites*

Shame to see a delay being reintroduced to the stream, ala old NASA days during the shuttle, but completely understand why I've become so used to watching SpaceX's live streams being live without any delay

Interesting now that you say that; the stream via Nasa is some 45 seconds behind the stream from spacex`s site.

As a human being living on a planet protected from the sun by a gaseous layer I'm a bit bothered by all these Billionaires trying to outdo each other burning bloody great holes through it to get their Ego kicks.

The Space Race has a lot to answer for.

Only noticed it when they were doing the closeout of the hatch that the audio wasn't matching the video of the astronauts responding back - either on YouTube direct or SpaceX's site

RP1/O2 isn't that dirty. Blue Origin's New Shepard and SpaceX Starship use Methanol and O2 which isn't that dirty either. Its the monomethylhydrazine and dinitrogen tetroxide oxidizer engines that spew out some bad things.
