Actually it's good otherwise I would have missed it!

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

gives us time to make a cuppa then eh

[Forgey (Paula)]

i almost missed it, i went out to get tea about 1/2 and hour ago lol

[Wookie (Ryan)]

30 mins minimum - nawwwww.
Indication that a 'Fillum(?) grain valve' on the second stage of the delta vehicle did not close properly....

[Regulus (Trevor)]

Thanks for the tip off. It's a great looking rocket too, but I wish there was a count down timer cos I don't want to go put the kettle on in case it's gone when I get back :-)

You've got at least 15min Trevor to grab a cuppa

[alan meehan (Alan)]

Thanks jjj nearly missed this one ,delayed too

[Wookie (Ryan)]

They do a T-Minus 4 min count down...more than enough to boil the kettle.


Fill and drain valve makes sense Chris, thanks for that.
I've had a few 'Reds' so it was difficult to decipher.

Oh I thought I heard them say T-4 was at 11:55?

Ah yep, just heard them say T-4 in 8 mins.

[von Tom (Tom)]

I misinterpreted what they said again! Launch is at 11:59:00UT

[von Tom (Tom)]

I don't think my Mars processing will be finished before launch
