Yes.

You bet your ass I will.

They use basically Nasatv's steam but FAR superior, really great guys that spread space to people and advocate exploration (support them)

for those interested

5 MINUTES!!!!!

14 minutes >.>

inb4 challenger

lol, its not manned though so its a bearable loss, well, maybe not for the guys slaving over this for the past 10 years

Been covering ti for a while.
Additional 5 minute hold slapped onto the previous extended hold to work the anomaly

Another five minutes requested on the hold. So that's 15 mins total. 15:49 ZULU for the new T-0

how normal is to have anomalies?

hurry the fuck up

>>3512957

prety standard for this kind of launch

Running test on the Centaur Helium system, stopping topping to do so

will extend hold 10 minutes

15:59 ZULU the current T-0

slight violation of backup pressure for RD-180, no problem going forward. System set lower than normal, but still nominal.

>Hear over scanner:

"Drains in the bathroom backing up"
>mfw

also
Range nogo right now.

>>3512999
Helicopters everywhere, just need to clear the range.

So am I right in thinking the problems are with ground-based cryogenic systems?

>>3513005
Yes right now it is groundside.

>>3513011
So what was the glitch/problem? I know it's not a launch killer but isn't there something wrong with the cryogenic helium?

>>3513023
problem's resolved. They're trying to clear range right now..

Stupid drunken party boaters.

mfw when they extend the hold for another five minutes.

jesus fuck. its 2am in the morning and ive had the most exhausting week. I JUST WANT SLEEP. FUCKING LAUNCH ALREADY.

>>3513049
1am here in Japan.

Had a VERY tiring week myself...

>dat feel when additional 5 minutes

Spoiler alert: They're going to extend the hold for another 5 minutes

>>3513034

THEY DID IT AGAIN

discussion on engineering net on the helium leak, plenty of margin with red line monitoring ready to proceed, waiting on new t-0, booster cleared for flight

16:25Z confirmation

IS THAT TINY ROOM THE "FLIGHT CONTROL"?

so 10 more minutes?

TMINUS 5 SECONDS AHH

2 minutes till picking up countdown

>nasa
>delays

pick both

Always when I watch launches I have that strange feeling that it may blow up... Hope it doesn't

how long will it take this thing to get to jupiter

JUUUUUUUUUPITER HERE I GO

3 MINUTES TILL LAUNCH

3 minutes.

I am now in silent mode.

>>3513132
that rocket has 100% safety record currently so hope not !

5 years and its the fastest thing ever made by humans

>>3513141

>travel timed in years

still amazes me

>>3513141

Too bad we need moar monies to blow brown people to pieces

sorry /sci/!

>>3513140
One more reason to worry... Everything fails sometime.

vehicle on internal power, launch sequencer start, securing Centaur LH2

ALIENS

OH SHI-

DAT POWER

I don't know, sir, but it looks like a giant..

Fuck yeah!

It still has to orbit the Earth to do a slingshot to Jupiter.

inb4 flying penis, dildo, etc

>mfw the USA was near me

Good job gentlemen,

From Canada.

T-minus 5 minutes till MECO.

My face when I find this thread, had no idea about the launch, and tune in just in time to hear "T-minus 15 seconds... 10, 9..."

Now a wank to celebrate

>mfw I missed the launch by a few minutes

Status: NO DATA
That's a good sign

>12:32 riddleman65: Looks like a giant penis

Sure does

Nice to see republicans-teaparty didn't blow it up before

Oh wow. Thanks for reminding me of this, /sci/ (saw thread about 50 minutes ago). What a great launch.

Well now the stream just looks like they're playing KSP.

>mfw you control real space craft in KSP. Like in Ender's Game.
>i've killed so many!

Looks like all is well. Great launch!
