SpaceX CRS-6 Launch Webcast
- rickr 12y agoLivestream link: http://livestream.com/spacex/events/3959775 http://livestream.com/spacex/events/3959775 Broadcast starts at 1615 est.
- pwnna 12y agoIs livestream really laggy? I can't get more than 20 seconds of video to play after initial load.
- shivaas 12y agoNo issues here. Maybe try a different browser ?
- FeepingCreature 12y agoKnown (Flash on) Linux-related issue. Use the livestreamer ( http://docs.livestreamer.io/ http://docs.livestreamer.io/ ) tool instead.
- grubles 12y agoIt's rainy here in central Florida but hopefully I can see it outside. What was fun was seeing the night launch they did a few weeks ago. That one was very easy to spot in the sky.
- searine 12y agoThis might be the big one folks. Daytime launch with good weather, and calm seas. If things go right, we might see the first rocket landing in the next hour.

- peterwaller 12y agoT-8 minutes as I post this now, at 2025 UTC.
- jjar 12y agoT-3 MINS
- peterwaller 12y agoToday's attempt scrubbed due to weather at T-03:07 :(
- antimora 12y agoHere is a youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVUCVYRGcUo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVUCVYRGcUo For some reason my ISP blocks livestream.com.
- polymathist 12y agoFrom the SpaceX twitter account: "After Dragon and Falcon 9’s second stage are on their way to orbit, the first stage will execute a controlled reentry through Earth’s atmosphere, targeting touchdown on an autonomous spaceport drone ship approximately nine minutes after launch." So it sounds like if you stay tuned for nine minutes after the launch you can see the booster stage attempt to land!
- ceejayoz 12y agoThat almost certainly won't be a live feed.
- nacs 12y ago"Hold. Hold. Hold. Weather is no go" @ 4:31pm EST
- ceejayoz 12y agoAnd because this is an instantaneous launch window, that means no launch today.
- Laremere 12y agoSpecifically, there's thunderheads within their no-go radius, so weather called hold. Since it's only a 1 second launch window, there won't be a launch today. Edit: Next launch window is tomorrow at 4:10pm eastern time. However the weather outlook isn't much better.
- baggers 12y agohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_commit_criteria#Falcon_9 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_commit_criteria#Falcon_9 within 19 kilometres (10 nmi) of an attached thunderstorm anvil cloud.
- swhitt 12y ago> 1 second launch window Why is it so precise?
- JshWright 12y agoThey need to launch when the orbital plane of the station is directly overhead. The earth rotates surprisingly quickly, so even a minute or two later the plane of Dragon's orbit would be far enough off from the plane of the station that a couple expensive inclination change maneuvers would be necessary to line them up again.
- rgbrenner 12y agoThe earth rotates surprisingly quickly Not so much the earth as ISS. The earth rotates at 24900mi/day or about 1040mph. The ISS, to maintain its orbit, travels at 17150mph or about 5 miles per second. So in two minutes, it travels about 600 miles.

- kirankoduru 12y agoSo close
- jjar 12y agoDC NO GO
- btown 12y agoAs of 16:30:30 EST, launch was scrubbed due to weather. It's still fun to listen to their verbal verifications to each other about shutting down the system though!
- 2close4comfort 12y agoSO CLOSE!
