Don't expect great footage from me

(Although I at least have an actual camera, this is just a phone camera through a small telescope)

I can confirm that it launched!

Cygnus separation.  Antares did well.

I am having an unreasonable amount of trouble just trying to trim the mediocre (but fairly high-res, at least at the beginning) video I got of the launch. I mean, it shouldn't be hard- generic windows applications are giving me errors and even Adobe Premiere has decided to start crashing constantly, which it's never done before.

But, sunrise!

Made a copy of the picture Nasa showed from the youtube video of the Antares rocket that happened yesterday. A 3d image of an altitude at 190km at that time before it went to people in the control room. Go Cygnus...

Oh right I had video

Uh... here's the NG-12 launch but a whole month after the launch

(I was busy. And... it's not much to look at  Some idiot left autofocus on)

Yuzmash buys 88.7 t of Russian aluminium, presumably for the Antares first stage, causing considerable politically-motivated mirth in the Russian media.

Another attempt today:

Live in 2 hours.

T - 20 minutes and counting. Weather (including upper level winds) is go.

[tater]

Wonder if they could feed telemetry into KSP and render better than that?

(what is with all the hot mic crap)

[Geonovast]

They really need to learn how to live stream.  If it's gonna be this messy, why bother?

Got to love that Verizon robotic voice in the back
