The launch date is on the page, in a list item, like this:
<li class="posted">
<b>Launched:</b>
Jun 18, 2012
</li>

Indeed, the launch date is there, but it's only accurate to the day. To figure out the actual launch date+time, you need to look at the deadline and subtract the project duration, both of which can be found in this element on each page:
<span data-duration="X" data-end_time="Y" id="project_duration_data">

Wow, thanks. Was this always there, or did it come as part of the recent redesign? I remember searching the source of the previous project pages for anything resembling what should have been a launch date, and couldn't find it anywhere. Maybe at the time I was just delirious.
If I'd gotten around to it, I might have tried to build something like the KickBack Machine, but seeing as it has already been done, I'll leave the job to Dan Misener. (And he's done an excellent job.)
Edit: seems I was wrong about the launch date being hard to find.
