Watch soyouz launch live!

Coverage has started at TsENKI. They may or may not provide commentary and/or extra information, whether they do appears to be effectively random.

[KvickFlygarn87]

Okay, T - 1h, 13 minutes

[Kulebron]

I'll go watch it outside, it's 1-2Mm from home and I can see the third stage in the sky usually.

[edit] It's raining.

[KvickFlygarn87]

Wow, really? Where do you live?

[Kulebron]

Novosibirsk city.

We have a lake nearby in 10 minutes of walk from my home, I'd go to the high coast to watch. Even at water lever, the view to southwest is unobstructed, and you can see even the second stage falling down and burning brightly (if I remember the details correctly). We saw a couple of launches from there in last 10 years, just by coincidence. (Of course everyone around said it's UFO )

T -11 min!

[KvickFlygarn87]

Anyone else watching?

[Kulebron]

They say it's the same launchpad that was used in 1961 for Gagarin's flight. Built in 1957 for ICBM R7.

[Drunkrobot]

I am! Here's to a nominal flight!

[Kryten]

Are you absolutely sure about that time? The service tower hasn't even been retracted yet. I think somebody forgot to take summer time into account.

[Mr Shifty]

Launch isn't for another hour.

[KvickFlygarn87]

What? Damn you, bed time!

[Drunkrobot]

That is one snazzy control room.

[Kulebron]

Service towers retracted.

[Kulebron]

t = -40 minutes

[Drunkrobot]

Commencing countdown, engines on.

[Kryten]

30 minutes to launch.

[Kyrnz]

T = -19 minutes

Glad I saw this!

[Drunkrobot]

Anyone else going to watch the docking?

[Kerbin Dallas Multipass]

T minus 10 minutes and counting

[Kulebron]

Anybody hears sound in the broadcast?

[Scotius]

Yes! I waited for one of the guys to start playing with that bear Also...no sound? Come on! It's XXI century for Goddard's sake.

[Kerbal01]

T-6 minutes!

[Kyrnz]

That was Mozart if I wasn't mistaken, T -4 minutes

[Scotius]

OK, fingers crossed. Mishka! Turn your luck-bringing powers on full.
