What exactly are the launch constraints concerning the wind speed?

The Atlas 5's wind limit at launch is 33 knots...that's approx. 61 km/h.

1knot=1.852 kilometers per hour

It's sad enough you still stick with the imperial system, expecting someone else will convert the figures for you is just rude! tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

I may or may not be able to watch the launch live (depends on work pressures), but I would just like to add my sincerest wishes for a successful launch.

Good luck!

I am using the realplayer link from here on my Mac, and it works fine.

(And yes, I use a Mac at work. Lucky me cool.gif )

I'm following Mike Griffin's New Horizons Press Briefing on NASA TV, and EVERY DAMN QUESTION has to do with the Space Shuttle... do journalists realize how stupid they sound not asking a single question about the real reason that briefing was called?? mad.gif mad.gif mad.gif

Check to see if your connection speed is set correctly in Real Player. It's been a while since I've used RP, but there ought to be a setting on whether you're broadband or 56k dialup. The latter won't give you more than 48 kbps, imho, even if your connection is capable.

Speaking of live streams, is there a way to record the feed to your computer on the fly? I've had success with on-demand webcasts, but no luck with live feeds.
I'd really like a copy of the launch webcast as I don't want to depend on the NH site posting an archived and shortened launch feed...

Kudos to Bill Hardwood who said "I'm going to ask a question about New Horizons seing as no one else has"
