Update: It’s 9:38 pm Mountain time and if you’ve just clicked the link, it’s dark but it’s there. The link works fine.
Update: 3:03–Launch was aborted at ignition because the Engine 5 chamber pressure was high. Because the planned rendezvous of Dragon with the ISS involves so many manuvers that there is not enough fuel aboard the capsule for additional catchup time so that there is only launch or no launch with no room for a countdown hold. The launch has been rescheduled for Tuesday morning. More detailed info later this morning.

I seldom leave a response, however i did some searching and wound up

Housley. And I actually do have a couple of questions for you
if it’s allright. Is it just me or does it look like a few of these comments come across like they are written by brain dead folks? 😛 And, if you are posting at other sites, I’d
like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Could
you list of every one of all your communal
sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
Hmmm…fascinating. This is the most convincing automated comment I’ve seen so far. I wonder what software generated it.
Watching a launch on Lagstream is not cool at all. You get 3 seconds, then it stalls, and in all likeliness it’ll only stop lagging past MECO. Abysmal performance, but then again at least they take the time to show the world not to ever count on their service.
I’ve never had a problem, and I’ve used it for several different information sources from a variety of client-side bandwidth environments.
