They look cool, I'm getting excited. One thing we can all agree on is we can't wait to see the Moon in HD! (when we got back)

Kinda sad this isn't on any broadcast stations. It's on discovery and science but this is the kind of thing they used to interrupt regular TV for. But God forbid someone miss judge Judy.

Pretty exciting stuff. Lets not have any "Mission Control we have a problem" moments
Good luck and prayers to Crew

About to break 300,000 viewers on NASA's official stream and we are a couple of hours from the potential launch...

450k on the SpaceX stream (which is the exact same thing from what I can tell).

If the crew has to take over and "fly" the Dragon, what is the MMI? The touchscreens?

Those are big time numbers considering it's a weekday and we are still a couple of hours from the launch if it even happens.

Yep. There are some buttons for certain functions, but 90% of the controls are through the touchscreens.

That must have taken some adjustment...

I just hope the rocket doesn't fall over before launch. I wonder if they've remembered to check the strap at the top???
