@Kirwan crazy fast!!

That was awesome to see!

[Machpants]

Very cool. About half again as big as the SA-2 Iraq chucked at me, and a lot less launch cloud and smoke trail. Very 'clean' in that respect.

@Crucial said in Rocket Lab:

Around 35 minutes to launch if anyone is interested

Live Stream | Rocket Lab

A live webcast of the launch will begin on this page approximately 20 minutes prior to the target T-0 time.

I noticed all the sheep and cows chilling in nearby paddocks, classic NZ. I wonder how they like takeoff? Not much I'd expect. As for the launch? Kickass

SpaceX about to launch crew to the ISS just after 830 NZT.

If you're home schooling kids ( @voodoo ), get in

[Kirwan]

@nzzp scrubbed due to weather

[nzzp]

@Kirwan I know, pity eh

[voodoo]

@nzzp stink

[Kirwan]

I think the alternative day has an earlier launch time too, which sucks

This was a disappointing breakfast viewing, but safety first.

I was watching the pre-launch live while in the passenger seat on the way to work in Timaru in my bosses Tesla, on autopilot, after he downloaded the latest car software patch over his motel Wifi last night. We really are living in the future

@nzzp saved me working it out, thanks

@Kirwan you're very trusting 😀

Seriously, someone not me should check

I lived there for 9 months. I do not.

@Smudge fair call! Why the hell did you move there?

I visited and had pleasant memories

The newzealand.com page for Timaru seems to be mostly "Huntin' n Fishin' " with a side order of Jitboatsbro.
