It’d be nice to show schedule times according to browser’s timezone. Or a countdown timer at least. Im still not sure what Australian time it’d be.
- senectus1 4y ago
  about 8:30pm WST (Perth time)

  Countdown timer is on the video. Currently sitting at about 6.5hrs.
- _trampeltier 4y ago
  Yes, we really need something better for global timing.
  - hericium 4y ago
    Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) serves this purpose.
    - sgt 4y ago
      That's easier if you are close to UTC. Most australians have no idea what UTC means.
      - nuker 4y ago
        And what day, today or yesterday, am, pm…
      - gspr 4y ago
        Are you saying that understanding an UTC offset of 2h is significantly easier than understanding one of 10h?!
        _trampeltier 4y ago
        For human yes

    Its been tried... I actually had a watch with it built into it once. everyone I tried to convert to it used to look at me funny and back away: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time
    - MrDresden 4y ago
      That it has been tried as a marketing gimmick of a watch company does not exclude more serious attempts from trying.
      - senectus1 4y ago
        I'm down for that... and with the prevalence of smart watches with custom faces etc it should be super easy to do and spread. throw in some phone widgets and outlook addins and the world will make it work I'm sure

        I have both the watch complication and a menu-bar app on my Macs, but then again I'm an astronomer who works in a world-wide collaboration.

Direct streaming links for those who don't want to use a web browser. Just give one of them to a network capable video player (VLC works fine). https://ntv1.akamaized.net/hls/live/2014075/NASA-NTV1-HLS/master_2000.m3u8 https://ntv1.akamaized.net/hls/live/2014075/NASA-NTV1-HLS/ma... https://ntv2.akamaized.net/hls/live/2013923/NASA-NTV2-HLS/master.m3u8 https://ntv2.akamaized.net/hls/live/2013923/NASA-NTV2-HLS/ma...

  "Access denied" on both.
  - squarefoot 4y ago
    Did you feed them to a player? They're not intended to be clicked on a browser, I get the access denied error too if I click on either, but they play fine if I load them within a player. For example on VLC, select from menu: Media->Open Network stream, then paste one of the links and hit Play. Unless they're restricted in your area they should play fine.
- ripdog 4y ago
  Since those links are either dead or geolocked, note that you can play the official youtube stream in mpv/mpc directly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JncMoFTn9xc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JncMoFTn9xc), or pass it through livestreamer to play in any local player. https://docs.livestreamer.io/ https://docs.livestreamer.io/
  - squarefoot 4y ago
    Probably geolocked, I'm playing one of them right now and tested the other successfully again (both showing the same content btw). Thanks for the tip.
    - ripdog 4y ago
      Excuse me, your links are indeed fine when loaded from a video player. That's odd, I don't recall akamai refusing to serve the hls manifest to browsers before. I wonder why they started doing that...

Multiple launch issues including fueling and a an apparent "interflange crack" which doesn't sound good. The loading of propellant was delayed by about an hour because of passing storms and the danger of lightning. Then a leak popped up in a hydrogen fuel line. That was resolved, and both propellant tanks have been filled in the rocket's core stage. Engineers are now investigating two other issues. The first is a possible “crack in an intertank flange.” <https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/08/29/science/nasa-moon-launch/d5de45c8-b653-5a73-b9f6-5884706071c9 https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/08/29/science/nasa-moon-la...> I'm suspecting a scrub is likely. Watching live video, talk of "hydrogen team" assessing a situation. Information is not especially forthcoming.
