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

[NTA]

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

That is all sorts of awesome!

I think it's Sunday morning 722am NZT now.

@nzzp saved me working it out, thanks

[nzzp]

@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.

Didn't you have a pad that over looked the ocean??

That's Dunedin. I still have it! (and hopefully the solid capital gains hold up, post-Covid).

[NTA]

I just looked it up and apparently webcast starts in 3 hours so assume launch will be another hour or so after that?

[NTA]

Or that could be misguided and the launch is 7 hours from now. Confused. I'll probably be asleep anyway

[nzzp]

@NTA I think I was right originally, 722am nzt, which is 322pm Saturday Eastern time.

Just over two hours away

Gee, watching the launch is making me feel like a school-kid again.

Loving the non-nonsense NASA coverage.
