Holding at T-47s.
any idea why they're holding?
Is it broken?
the support scaffold is retracted... you'd have thought they'd leave that attached for a static fire.
maybe they've just realised this too 🙂
Holding at specific countdown points is normal.
Why they've not resumed yet, I don't know.
"Launch team reviewing data" - there you go then.
back up to 13 minutes - time for a cup of tea and some cake 🙂
Surely it shouldn't take windows vista this long to reboot!
lots of gas. Is going to go pop?
mmm Chocolate and Guinness cake 🙂
Tell to to take their time... I'm going to get more cake!
Chocolate and guiness cake?
I'm intrigued.
Does it go 'wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' or is it one that 'whoooooooooosh-BANG!s'? I wonder if it is red or green....

t'missus has earned serious brownie points with this little beauty 🙂
she got it out of the green and blacks cookbook - worth investigating if you like very very dark, moist chocolatey awesomeness.

I see what you did there. (-:
glad someone was paying attention 🙂
back to the rocket thingame.... i just heard the bloke say there was a limit improperly set or something, they're going to start again at T-20 mins
He said moist as well....*s*****
Sounds good chocolate and guiness cake. Might make one up at the weekend, always impresses Doris!
Final Readiness Poll (or "Frap") in progress... (-:
I'm glad it's not just me that finds this fascinating.
I'll be visiting KSC (again) in a couple of weeks. Can't wait.
2 mins to go...wife up stairs to get son 😀

It's not actually a launch, bear in mind.
Still cool, though.
I have been lucky enough to see 2 shuttle and 1 rocket launches at Kennedy and Canaveral on some of our visits to the space centre.
Its hard to describe the feelings of watching something go off to space in front of your eyes.!
Am gutted they scrapped the manned space program for the near future.
That was as exciting as indoor fireworks.
I've never seen the shuttle launch (and never will now *sadface*) but I've seen a rocket launch from two miles outside minimum safe distance on Satellite Beach. There aren't words.
That was as exciting as indoor fireworks.
Hah, yeah, bit of an anticlimax...!
