I was editing here and missed the contretemps.
Range?

Unconfirmed reports of a ship that wandered into the keep out zone.

The launch is not yet scrubbed, they're gonna monitor the situation for the next 90 minutes of the launch window and see if they can still go

New launch time [STRIKE]7:19[/STRIKE] 7:21 pm EST

Seems that the range is not clear, but they believe that 7:21pm is the last opportunity of the launch window, so they're speculatively running the launch and hoping that the range clears shortly.

Sometimes the technology we now have easy access to blows my mind. Here we are watching a live stream in 1080P on our computers and/or tablets of some guy about to launch a satellite into GTO.

Cool time to be alive!!! :smile:

And no commercials or station teasers to make you wait till the end of the programme.

Range is green!

Edit: WTF?

Sigh... Launch abort ***AFTER*** engine ignition!!! (No boom, though....)

The previous occasion they were explaining upgrades including strong clamps and the ability to abort after ignition.

Scheduling the next attempt will depend on the nature of the issue causing the shutdown & the time needed to re-chill the LOX. #Falcon9

Because of constraints associated with LOX temps, this was the last chance to get #Falcon9 off the ground today. [url]http://bit.ly/1VEbYe1[/url]

#Falcon9 has the luxury of a hold-down system, allowing for checks of the engines during thrust build-up before committing F9 to flight.

STRONGBACK RETRACTION – The large support structure is moving away from #Falcon9 to clear the way for liftoff. [url]http://bit.ly/1VEbYe1[/url][/QUOTE]

Officially scrubbed.

Debugging this may take substantially longer, as it was some issue after the engines fired. Still hope for tomorrow though.

Edit: Apparently the range violation was around the offshore landing platform 600km off the coast. Damn ship...
