23:00
@Undo you don't have 1 and 0 on your keyboard? :P
@TildalWave I don't, i have true and false :]
@Tildal No, to type one hundred I just type truefalsefalse.
@Undo What about 135? truetruetrue?
I submit papers in binary.
Launch aborted by autosequence due to slower than expected thrust ramp. Seems ok on closer inspection. Cycling countdown.
@Undo you got an answer for your question
23:12
@Tildal Awesome.
here too... @geoffc posted it ;)
gggrrrrrr
Lol
he said "bear with us"
ggrrrrrr
Why is it T-32:07 now?
T-00:32:07 recycled again
23:15
@TildalWave Thanks for the edit, I was trying to figure out how to get the URL for the Tweet. I hate twitter...
Lol. Me too.
@UNdo My guess for 32":07 is close of the launch window?
But it's not changing :(
@geoffc hehe it took me a while to figure that out with the "new" layout too... what you do is click on the tweet to expand it, and then there's "details" link somewhere in the middle just under it, and replies follow under
@geoffc and no problem ;)
@TildalWave Thanks, I will look for it. Sometimes I find it easily, sometimes not. I wish people would write longer things... This stupid 140 char limit is annoying. And it makes for total nonsense most of the time.
23:18
Hey! SpaceX runs OS X!
@geoffc it might have been when they recycled it,... there's some chatter that they'll reset it to T-13 soon, give it another go
@Undo they claim to run a custom Linux on servers and flight hardware.
Clock at T-25:40
@Undo I saw, but that was just the stream comp
I imagine they run whatever they need on workstations.
23:18
@G
@geoff They just messed up and showed their desktop on the live stream - and it was OS X :)
Abort adjusts assumptions and allegations.
:D
(Alliteration time! Haikus for the pros... Ya, Why let this die?)
they are going for the end of the launch window at 23:44 GMT (6:44 p.m. EST)
@Tildal This is the last chance for today, right
23:20
Launches lift and level large... Ran out of L's.
@Undo well that countdown is now in sync with the last launch window, so yeah for today that would be it, they can't recycle back to T-13 again
@geoff Now that I think about it, we could have an alliteration/haiku chat event...
Which would be kinda fun.
Chatting constantly consenent with consistent consinents is classy!
(say that 10 times fast!)
I can't say it one time slow.
@Undo Sad, Mad or Bad? - I always wanted to be a dino, but alas, I'm just old.
23:23
I quite liked the view of the pad, with the sun peeking through the T/E's structure!
away
> Carlton cries "Charades!
Cor! Come, Charlemagne! Cuckoo!"
Carlton. Crazy chap.
What have we started...?
Oooh! 20 min launch window extension!
yes? didn't hear it
I was alliterating my haiku-fu
@TildalWave "The customer has told us that they are willing to extend the mission launch window by 20 minutes if necessary."
@Undo Oh, is it up to the customer? I thought they might have other reasons to have a launch window ... GTO to GEO isn't all that time sensitive you can always do one more orbit before injection
23:27
I dunno.
maybe their customer has control of the airspace too?
Probably weather.
funny I never heard any weather report during the countdown sequence, have you?
I've never really listened to a launch sequence before this :P
well if you heard anyone mention it?
23:29
Nope.
gtg brb
OK let's hear their launch poll
The dude giving abort instructions for #SpaceX #Falcon9 #SES8 kinda sounds like he is reciting the rules for Fight Club.
LOL
Oooh little rocket grabbers.
(that's the technical name, no?)
they call it strong arm
didn't see Arnold Schwarzenegger under it moving it tho
T-3 min
How big around is it?
what is?
23:41
The rocket body
T-1
> Height v1.1: 68.4 m (224 ft)
Abort.
:(
aborting bummer
23:44
So anticlimactic :[
So... tomorrow, right?
The guy calling Abort this time, sounded scared.
He did.
Musk said, if abort again, will roll back to hangar for checks,.
hides under table
23:45
If launch aborts, we will bring the rocket down for engine inspection, so probably a few days before next attempt
:(
Oh neat, so the Chat expands well known links? Is that how the cool Question views show up as well? Clever.
Yup
@geoffc LOL now I see he's holding a violin there on his avatar
Announcer of Abort appeared afrightened.
So nerve wracking watching launches. Love it.
@geoffc yup
shame they're aborting tho, I bet there's at least a few dozen turkeys in that flame tunnel waiting to get roasted for thanksgiving
@TildalWave I guess they'll just have to use my flamethrower.
> 1. Get the turkey in the protective box.
2. Fire the rocket engine for 1:45 hours. That's it.
Well, I'm out. Nice watching a launch in here with ya'll finally. Bye!
23:50
@Undo take care ;)
Oh, she's cute.
Right, I'm off too gonna watch some blastoff stand up comedy or something :)
