Streaming just fine here. It requires Windows Media Player.

Right click on the link, save the asx and launch it manually. If I choose "other viewing options" and then click on Windows Media Player, it gives me a 404. But saving the link and launching it that way fires up WMP no problem.

Did they push it back? Gotta leave for school, lol.

why and how long are we holding?

I heard they were 'going over the info' from last night. Apparently there had been some lightning strikes near the pad the night before. I believe the dude said they wont launch before 9am.

Ah, well initially trying to load the OPS link was going 404, it works now but that is nice advice for others, thanks for posting.

"Officials said the launch is being pushed back from 8 a.m. EDT to between 9:15 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. The launch window is open until noon."

Looks like reason is weather.

 

[Pheran]

Live stream is now saying that weather will probably push this back to 10:30 EDT.

Sounds like launch is a go for liftoff (resuming countdown check is commencing now).

Might launch before 11 AM, but sounds like in the next ~20 min we will have a launch of a rocket finally
