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. [editline]18th February 2017[/editline] About an hour to go. They are covering it on NASA TV now as well: [video=youtube;UdmHHpAsMVw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdmHHpAsMVw[/video] [editline]18th February 2017[/editline] Tracking a MVac TVC issue, other than that so far so good.

snip, donno why nasa says "Launch scheduled at 12:58 a.m."
LOX loading is underway. [editline]18th February 2017[/editline] The SpaceX livestreams are up by the way.
Stream up.
Second stage LOX loading is underway. Range is a go so far.
Stream is live - T-18minutes. [editline]19th February 2017[/editline] Hop on Discord: [url]www.discord.gg/CztpQVf[/url]
5 mins to go.. a few issues being worked on. Final call on GO / NO GO at T-1 Min. [editline]18th February 2017[/editline] 20 seconds.. [editline]18th February 2017[/editline] 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
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;51840499]id rather them be confident then fuck anything up and potentially endanger lives[/QUOTE] 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. [editline]19th February 2017[/editline] LOX loading for stage 1 has begun. [editline]19th February 2017[/editline] Second stage now loading LOX. [editline]19th February 2017[/editline] SpaceX FM is now up on the streams. [editline]19th February 2017[/editline] Range and weather is GO. [editline]19th February 2017[/editline] Streams rolling.

They appear to be broadcasting the hosted stream on the technical one too. [editline]20th February 2017[/editline] And it's dead, guess they noticed. [editline]20th February 2017[/editline] Technical back up at [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUDLxFUMC9c[/url]
1 min to go
T-45seconds
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?
