A dang good Space X Launch webcaste

Howdy folks, bin a while scents I posted. I'm busy hiding out lately from the lovely Miseries on account of she has gone hog wild with her honey do list these days.

Just ran across this and figured it might be something fun to watch. Their last launch blew up on the pad. The webcast link has a good press release that gives good details each step from an hour before the countdown until the satellites are deployed. Kind of like watching the Rose Parade with a program.

Anyway, it's OT and just for fun.
