T-minus 4 minutes

 

[Dumac]

Launch window ends at 12:43 ET, so about an hour left

what the hell does current / total view mean for a live stream?

 

[dandruff]

t-4 holding : problem on ground side - not on vehicle

 

[zokudu]

Current are people watching right now. Total are people who have turned it on and either left or are still watching. Also damn that boat to hell.

 

[Dumac]

what the hell does current / total view mean for a live stream?

Current views is how many people are currently watching.

Total views is a count of everyone who has watched, but may not be watching anymore. For example, someone who opened the stream, watched a bit, and closed it would be counter in total views, but not current views.
