Manned space launch in 15 minutes!

[F4Gary]

I'm watching live, hope it goes off without a hitch.

Never mind...just scrubbed.

crap...I've been following it all day

What did you all think of the new suits? Looked like Devo to me.

Amazing how the cockpit has changed with all the switches replaced by a flat screen.

If you told me it was a movie set and they were wearing costumes I would have believed it.

I kept thinking (amongst other things) "where is the manual backup controls?" should the flat screens lose power, glitch, get a virus...whatever? It made the 2001 space odyssey sets seem clunky.

9 minutes!

Am amazed at the first stage landing on the barge. Also the escape system that can separate during liftoff.

It is, haven't you heard of the fake moon landing?

They've had that since the first Mercury flight.

Successfully docked with the ISS this morning I guess.
Well done.
Kind of galling having to hitch a ride with the rooskies for the last ten years.
