Actually Questioner's post should say, I hope that it is scrubbed." You see as pathetic as he is he can't say what he really feels. I can though, and Q if your out there, did your mama do something bad to you whan you were a little Q?
 
The weather means nothing. Successful launch to geosync & excellent D10 operation means everything. Lucky & Questioner are just grasping at straws.

In my opinion, the big risk items now are 1) the launch itself (achieving geosync) 2) successful spacecraft separation & control, and 3) array deploy. Spacecraft separation technology is extremely reliable. However, this is a new Payload Adaptor & Separation system for the Breeze M. It will be a long 9 1/3 hours after the launch until spacecraft separation. D* execs will be breathing a lot easier after separation.

That's when I will be breathing easier as well. To me, spacecraft separation is always the monumental event in the launch sequence. I'm looking forward to it. This fall, we will have come a long way from the intro of HDNet on D* December of 2001.

Btw, launch time of just after 7:00 in the morning is generally the least windy time of the day. It will be windier during the day due to heating. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Believe me, I want it to launch as much as anyone here. I switched from E* two months ago for MLBEI and want more HD badly. I hope the weather is good, and it launches successfully.
 
When Do They Start?

When do they start broadcasting the signal? The launch is at 7:30, so when does the picture start?

I thought the launch was at 9:15 EST on Friday night ....

The broadcast according to the channel guide starts at 8:30 with the Pre- Game Show, or make that the Pre Launch Show !

Everything looks right except in the chat section I am just getting a big grey square.... damn!! And I was gonna give Scobuck a big kiss on the succesful launch!!
 
I couldn't get in on the webcast until after it was over. Too bad. I wonder if NASA would replay the launch?
