    NASA only does low earth orbits. This is 22,500 miles up (or is it 23,500?).

    Hmmm this forum has me a bit intrigued on this placement of the satellites. I would think it to be quite boring but lol I think I am going to turn the channel on and see whats going on.

    Has anyone watched a launch before?

    Yes. Not as good as HDNet's coverage of the Space Shuttle but its fun to see a rocket blast off into space. I know folks are over stimulated but think back 50 years, that was a massive and major accomplishment.
    The Meaning of Life...Well there's nothing really special...Try to be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try to live together in peace and harmony with all people of creeds and nations.

    Maybe I missed something, but what channel is the coverage on?

    And, how quickly after it's launch can we expect to see channels live?

    It will be on channel 570. Expect to see new hd channels anywhere from 8 to 10 weeks after that.

    Time please

    I have seen a lot of different numbers and times.

    Can someone kindly clarify what time I can tune to channel 570 to see the launch?

    Thanks in advance.

    There are 2 shows, one at 8:30 for "D10 Launch Test" and another at 8:55 for "D10 Launch".
    The 8:55 is the live launch time
