Watch all yesterday while nothing happened, then effing missed it today :mad:

I thought of it about half 11, but then got caught up in my work and forgot, then checked BBC news a few minutes after launch.

But I don't have flash installed on my office PC anyway, and I probably took it off for a reason (likely performance), so bleh.

Apparently I wasn't the only one. I was so passed too. I was on NASA's TV websites, which I thought would have been solid. I guess u should have gone directly to ustream's site.

Yeah maybe you are right, but the ustream stream was stuttering the whole time before, so i went with nasatv.

But look on twitter, there are many many other cases where this happened. Such a thing shouldn't happen in such a moment. But hey it launched successfully, so everything is fine. Congrats, NASA!

I guess everyone wanted to see just the launch, not to listen to the entire talk before... damn I'm dissapointed, really wanted to see the launch :'(

Edit: Anyone wanna bet it's gonna cut off again at engine restart?

Twitter is really irate. "Someday men will walk on Mars... and a few years later, the NASA TV stream will be dependable." - Pedro_G

Anyways, the burn is continuing without incident, and I'm looking forwards to seeing a good solid orbit established!

[EDIT: SECO! Nice!]

Same! Was just about to sleep. I'll have to watch the video in the morning.

So annoying. But at least she's up and working "perfectly"!

Anyone got any links for the recording of the live stream for us poor suckers who missed it?
