And we're paused at 10 minutes.

I got home from work at 6:00 and we're eating dinner in the living room around the TV with the kids. We never do that, but this is different.

Cloudy by me however we did see a brief glimpse of the launch between the clouds.

Jealous of you Florida folks.
Dreamed of seeing a Shuttle launch in person, as a kid.
Maybe I'll make one of the Artemis launches

Because our government has completely neutered their space program and the media absolutely hates Elon so they certainly don’t want to give Space X any coverage.

A kid growing up in the 80s and 90s the Space Program was the Bees Knees and every single kids dream to go to Space Camp.

At one time I think NASA was told to tone down all of that rocket stuff and make muslims feel better about themselves.

Having to get “a piece of heritage equipment” “used during the Space Shuttle Program” to fix the system that blows up the rocket if it goes off course doesn’t inspire confidence.

"A pretty unique situation here" — Artemis II launch team working through range issue at launch site

Derrol Nail of NASA communications has arrived with an update that ground crews are working through an issue with the range on the ground.

Anytime NASA launches a rocket, the agency has to clear an airspace launch corridor to where the rocket's flight path is going to go.

But part of this system in the Eastern Range of Kennedy Space Center, called the Flight Termination System (FTS) is experiencing "an issue".

"It's the system that the Eastern Range here uses in order to send a destruct signal to a rocket in case it veers off path," Nail said. "So it's a very critical, important safety component in terms of how the range keeps the public safe."

In order to verify the work to fix the system, engineers are working with the FTS console operator by fetching "a piece of heritage equipment from inside the VAB [Vehicle Assembly Building] that was used during the Space Shuttle Program."

"This equipment is able to receive commands by the range through the flight termination system," Nail said. "The bottom line is that, at this moment, the range is no-go. But that is not stopping us from moving forward in the countdown."

I watched for almost 4 hours, and checked in this morning.
May put it up on a screen here in the office today too.
