 Launch blog? Posted on: Wed Sep 29, 2004 11:12 amIs anyone running a blog for the launch? I can't access IRC from my workplace, so am hunting for a way to find out what's happening before BBC News Online gets around to telling me...

Posted on: Wed Sep 29, 2004 1:47 pm I take it we are all the ones spitting blood because our work computers don't let us watch the web-cast eh? And why do Scaled launch when we are at work!!! I'm quite sure they have weekends in America by now.

Posted on: Wed Sep 29, 2004 1:49 pm Maybe Scaled don't like working on weekends either?

I am trying the webcast, but it seems to come and go, even though we've got a good connection here at work. Still, I'd rather be in Mojave, but this'll do. By the way, the BBC News Online site has got a webcast starting at 14:00GMT (15:00BST). ~Dan |

Posted on: Wed Sep 29, 2004 3:45 pm Yeah, the webcast sucks... I missed all the key moments
It's about time internet technology caught up with space technology - after all, it ain't rocket science 
Still, well done to our brave pioneer(s), and let's hope they fix the control glitch in time for the second flight. Dave |

Posted on: Wed Sep 29, 2004 3:55 pm The NASA webcast proved to be the most stable in the end, the others weren't reliable, oh well.

Posted on: Wed Sep 29, 2004 4:35 pm The NASA one worked fine at 56k, the higher ones were a bit glitchy, but certainly better than the other webcast I tried.
That roll looked pretty hairy, even from here in the UK! Well done people, but I would put money on them waiting a bit longer than Monday for the next launch given that roll. Since the engine was off 11s early, they must have been trying for a pretty high altitude. James |
