The weather remains 70% favourable for SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft launch on Saturday at 09:55 BST. I'm sad to say that I'll be missing this one.

Quite old, but i hadn't seen this one before. I find the audio strangely beautiful...

Anyone else watch the SpaceX launch today? Things seemed to go OK up until the deployment of the solar panels at which point the coverage was brought to an end(I'm not suggesting something went wrong).
