QUOTE (jabe @ Mar 21 2006, 07:41 PM)  http://kwajrockets.blogspot.com/ has the latest update If I said anything that sounded paranoid and skeptical, I take it back. Nice update. But why do they have to rely on Elon's brother (now really in Boulder) to do "press releases"? Thanks for the notice, jabe. Fourth time's the charm? |

Currently 25 mins into an unplanned hold. The Safety boat is apparently in the wrong place!

Anyone recording this? Would love to have a copy of checks leading up to launch, or transcript.

WMV's are hard to record
Elon just came on the net and said that the weather is green, fuel's nearly ready to go - all just about go for launch. Doug |

Well - the webfeed seemed to die after launch - but the onboard camera showed a few seconds of what looked like a tumbling vehicle.

Are you sure it wasn't just normal rotation, Doug? I think the video feed cut out for all.
Argh! |
