Falcon 9 at Cape Canaveral

Because you don't download it, but open in a player (i.e. copy the target link and open in VLC player, Media player classic, etc.).

Doesn't work at all

Just as a note, you can adjust the quality on the SpaceX stream (it is set to high by default, but you can adjust it to low).

Engineers are currently working a telemetry issue between the rocket and the range - a FTS (Flight Termination System) antenna isn't giving the correct signal.

You can listen to KSC comms. here.

Ironic, since the FTS approval was one of the last hurdles (other than weather) they had to get past...

Haven't tested it in other players, but it works fine in Media Player Classic.

And this is the direct link to low quality stream (copy the link and paste into a video player - tested working in Media Player Classic):

Something about a sport fisherman in the area, also.

I read something about a new launch target: 1:00 p.m. EDT.
The launch tower is moving back though...

Well, it can be moved away from the vehicle once again if necessary

The boat's name is the Reel Insanity, owned by an OFFSHORE ENTERPRISES HOLDINGS LLC: http://www.boatinfoworld.com/registration.asp?vn=123587

yeah I know, but I don't feels well you know. It's like they're gonna delay it by 24 hours... why did they placed it back anyway? it's not really windy or something... right?

The information age is terrifying sometimes. You went from hearing about a fisherman in the area to finding the name and holding company of the boat in that amount of time. And you don't even live in the same country as the boat. Truly we live in the future.

Range went red a couple mins before hold exit due to a boat entering the box.

 

[SiberianTiger]

They say:

Unidentified vessel is crossing the zone. Chopper on the way to identify.

A one more? Musk has really got enemies, so it seems.

New target taking priority for the chopper, previous target is exiting the zone.

:hmm: You can't have too much democracy, can you?

The third one was a sailboat. Full hold to the countdown!

New T-0 is 13:30... if the wind gets fair.

A funny joke I came across: "Mike Griffin has been spotted in a boat off the Florida coast"! :rofl:

The 4th fishing vessel is nearing the range.

---------- Post added at 21:14 ---------- Previous post was at 21:11 ----------

The "Manua" (the sailboat) did a 180 and is heading out of the range.

Uh-h-h...

---------- Post added at 21:16 ---------- Previous post was at 21:14 ----------

The 4th boat "is deemed not threatening the launch".

---------- Post added at 21:17 ---------- Previous post was at 21:16 ----------

The countdown is back on, T-11!

 

[AirSimming]

And there she'll hopefully go in less than 12 minutes from now.

G O O D L U C K to all the people behind this!

 

[Jarvitä]

T minus 8 minuted and counting, range and weather go.

Godspeed F9!

 

[astrosammy]

If another one enters the zone...

 

[Jarvitä]

Vehicle release systems configured for launch. T minus 4:15 and counting.

 

[SiberianTiger]

If another one enters the zone...

Already there, but I feel they are ignoring it.

---------- Post added at 21:25 ---------- Previous post was at 21:24 ----------

T-3 minutes.

 

[Jarvitä]

T minus 2 minutes, range is go.
