Still waiting on the official press release.
The time of the launch means that we will have a daytime RTLS landing at LZ-1.

9hours until launch.
Interesting that they can add those sort of protocols so soon to the launch.
Just under 2 hours to go now. No new weather report yet, but 70% go from yesterday.

About an hour to go. They are covering it on NASA TV now as well:

Tracking a MVac TVC issue, other than that so far so good.

20 seconds..

aborted
Fuck, abort.
There was a hold call on an instantaneous launch - so their backup launch window is less than 24 hours away.
id rather them be confident then fuck anything up and potentially endanger lives

No lives are in danger during the launch, that's why the coastguard sets up the boundaries.
Unless your concern is for the live lab-rats on board the pressurized cargo on Dragon.
New stream links are up, [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giNhaEzv_PI"]hosted[/URL], [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPVRRtNxw5Q"]technical[/URL].
Set your alarms.
Five and a half hours until launch.
Weather remains 70% go. Parts in stage two apparently replaced to fix the TVC issue.
About 45 mins to go.

They appear to be broadcasting the hosted stream on the technical one too.

GO for launch!
Real shame about the weather.
Interesting they launched on such a cloudy day, isn't there normally problems with sound distribution when they do that?
