🙁
Am I right in thinking they'll try again tomorrow same time?

Yes, weather/squirrels/boats not withstanding.
Yep, lets do it all again tomorrow - this decorating going to cost some.. 🙂
Disappoint
they've changed the parameters on the wind sensor
i.e. unplugged it.
my guess:
they planned all along for a dry-run, so that they get to practise various 'Hold' scenarios in an almost-live arena.
(stops anyone feeling too shy to call it for real)
all that steam is just a few boiling kettles - they've jammed a spoon* into the switches to stop them clicking off.
(*why is it always a spoon?)
(*why is it always a spoon?)
I blame Alanis Morisette. Aim for a knife, get 10,000 spoons. Oh well, I supposed its reduced stabbings in her area.
Here we go again then 🙂
2 minutes...
you are shitting me.
Nasa can't handle a few thousand people trying to watch a live feed?
cool!
"it's the age of orion, a new era in American space exploration"
Made me want to punch somebody.
Completely missed lift off too grrr. Looking forward to not see it splash down in 4 hours or so 😡
rats... missed it 🙁
*Stupid work.
Woke up 20 mins before, and got the stream to work 1:40 before launch which then crapped out at 0:01
So I went outside, looked NNE and saw the flame rip past a few clouds. Quite something!
Why is it 'a new era'? Are NASA a bit pee'd as the ESA are the coolest kids at the moment?
Cause no-ones been to Mars before?sharkbait - Member

Launch on youtube now too if you missed it -
(how do you embed on here?)
SPLADOOOSH! Bullseye - piece a piss 😀
Poor streaming though, need to get that sorted NASA before the main event
So which bit do you figure tightens an astronaut's sphincter most?
Lift off - waiting to be burned to a crisp
Re-entry - waiting to be burned to a crisp
Or simply sitting there waiting for the chutes to open.
Still - that all seemed to go well and watching re-entry live on my iPhone on the train home was pretty good.
Sorry to hear others live stream packed up just at the key moments too. We lost it just as soon as they lit it! Looked good though.

FTFY 😉

It's the resumption of manned space travel- lately it's been all drones, industrialised satellite lifts, and commuting to the space station. Not that there's anything wrong with that but sending people to other planets is definitely a new era.
Meh. Believe it when I see it - do they not need to send more drones to see what's there first?
*not quite seeing the point in sending human beans to Mars
Well according to NASA's timeline for Orion, a manned Mars mission isn't on the cards until the 2030s. I may miss it 🙁
