If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

On the NSF chat yesterday they were talking about how many live feed cameras including some of theirs are going to be toast

I usually stream SpaceX launches on a laptop.  This one is on the large living room flat screen.  Only just a little bit excited about this one.  =D

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Getting some nice camera views including some from inside the rocket looking at SS's engines on SX's feed.

All go at 25 minutes except for a boat in the violation zone but it is reported as leaving.

Amazing no holds.

I am watching the SpaceX live feed, and they are showing how the base has been built out.  I take it they must not be too worried about storms and flooding, seeing how it is built right on the shoreline.

Just heard that there is a problem with the booster.  Didn't catch the whole conversation as I was surfing news sites.  Supposedly, if the issue can't be resolved by T0:00, the launch will be converted to a wet dress rehearsal.
