Stream "live" for 10 minutes now with just a static image. Definitely should take some things from SpaceX's book, re: making a dynamic "We'll be live soon" screen.

Edit: Youtube stream is properly live now. 12 minutes of "dead air".

This is a much better feed than the official one.

There's been a bunch of small miscues on the broadcast (weird delays, music coming in too loud and at weird times, etc). We've been spoiled by SpaceX's experience broadcasting. Regardless, so awesome that everyone is broadcasting these flights for the world to see!

...and its live now, and it is in the air. Oh, cuts to a count down. Shambles! Hope the flight bit is more prepared.

Haha they clearly screwed up with hundreds of thousands of people watching a blank page. On Bloomberg they are already streaming it and it just took off.

The whole broadcast has been a disaster.

Makes me appreciate even more how good of a job SpaceX has done with their broadcasts.

Yes telemetry and comms were really subpar. But that shouldn't shadow the pretty incredible technical feat.

Is this you? [0]

> Please sir, only Elon Musk is allowed to declare people pedo guys.

No need to tell us that you're not a fan of Virgin Galactic.

They still went to space and you're still hate-watching the event. So what is your point?

I bet you will also sit down and hate-watch Blue Origin's launch.
