    Live stream from SpaceX

    Still an x-33 watch lol.

    Looks to be 50% chance for launch so far, but they think the weather will improve.

    About 2 hours out.

    It is so amazing being able to watch it live...and even cooler to see the camera on the outside of the capsule! Almost into orbit!

    Agreed, the cameras are fantastic views and quality! The second separation looked like a movie.

    13 minutes to an orbit over 200 km high and 12000 kph ... no matter how many times I've seen stuff like this, it's still frankly unbelievable.

    I feel such a sense of pride...not as an American, but as a human! For a brief moment, I truly felt that the world was cheering for this historic launch!
