Press kit is up.

http://www.spacex.com/sites/spacex/f...resskit_v1.pdf

The timing is the most interesting to me. Max-Q happens in only 1:06, and BECO (booster engine cutoff) happens at 2:29. And almost most interestingly, all three boosters will land within 21 seconds of each other at ~8 minutes - two on land and one at sea.

My fiancé has been giving me a hard time because I have been talking nonstop about this for a week now. I have a viewing party set up at work and I may cry if this works like it should.

Too go or not was going to be a last minute thing. Planned everything, just had to pull a series of triggers to make it happen. Unfortunately, my little guy came up with a fever of 101.8. Needless to say, our plans were scrapped.

If they don't blow up the launch pad today, they could have another launch in 3-4 months.

Hope they light it right at 10:30. I really want to see this one live...

30 minute slip

I really hope this doesn't get scrubbed.

Looks like they're worried about wind shear and are waiting it out.

Though reports are saying that its for more favorable winds and not anything mechanical.

Jinx

Now 2:50pm Eastern. I'm obviously not trying to keep up with OP updates FYI.

Now 3:05 EST. Looking like it could get scrubbed by the wind forecasts.

Window is open until 4:00.

Man...it'll be disappointing if we get scrubbed for weather, of all things. I expected some weird thing to go wrong in the process, but weather was looking good for today.

Yeah. I'm personally worried about the fuel load. Simultaneously loading multiple tanks has to up the difficulty quite a bit.

Launch auto-sequence initiated (aka the holy mouse-click) for 3:45 liftoff #FalconHeavy

- @elonmusk (Twitter)

Looks like the wind has died down enough...

Prop load is starting, so they're at least gonna TRY and get it off today at 3:45pm Eastern.

Can one watch this on TV?

I've heard that PBS may be covering it, but I can't say for sure. Your best bet is at the link in the OP.

Over 500K watching on you tube:

Tim Dodd (everyday astronaut) also has a live stream going here.

feed just went live

Mine is still SpaceX logo, are they commenting etc?

Not yet. Just grooving to music.

Lives coverage and commentary has started on the SpaceX feed.

Here we go. I'm pretty damn anxious.

Ha ha. I'm pretty stoked. Winds now reporting favorable.

1,262,221 viewers now. Wow.

Wonder what the biggest YouTube live streams have been. This has to be up there unless they've done football games or whatever.

HOly shit...

SpaceX going bonkers.

My heart is pounding...

Holy shit, Now thats a ****ing Rocket!

That thing is beautiful in flight.

better than porn! i came

Wow. What a shot of the Tesla. LMAO

That was amazing

That was pretty damn exciting.

BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!!

If they land all three of these things I may not be able to work the rest of the day...

The camera shot of the car was pretty funny.

Aliens will grab that Tesla , reverse engineer it and become dumber.

Absolutely love it. I got goosebumps just like I did as a little kid watching the Apollo launches.

****ing A!!

WoooooooWWWWW!!!!

My god...that was beautiful. One more to go!

Hearing the crowds cheer is wonderful.

Wow. Synchronized landing. Cool.

No word on the center core apparently. Hopefully we hear soon, but even if it didn't make it for some reason, I don't know how you could call this anything but a HUGE success. Crazy.

How long until 2nd payload burn starts?

That was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Just amazing!

T+28:22 from the press kit. Odd that they aren't covering it at all, but I guess we just have to watch Twitter for news.

And then, somewhere around T+6 hours they'll try and start it up one more time.

Core should already be down. Camera went out on the ship. Don't think it made it...

Any word on the middle booster yet?

Just chiming in to say the "Don't Panic" Douglas Adams reference is so my everything.

Unbelievable!!!

I loved that.

One word:


Too ****ing cool!

Symbolic of todays stock market

I could watch that all day.. Truth is I probably will.

They've got a live stream going of "starman" now:

There's a copy of Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy in the glove compartment.

Do spaceships follow the same salvage laws as nautical ships? If I salvage the Tesla, can I keep it?

Yes, but you have to grab it while it's over Russia...
