I have learned something you can only learn after watching Nasa TV for 12 hours.

The broadcast repeats itself!

Dr. choo just answerd billy's question about dusting the solar panels again!:ahh:
The new fuel tank doesnt need to pass under the same bridge twice (and in the same direction!).

this means that having the webcast open for the next 3 houres will be very hard, since ive seen all this stuff already :rolleyes:

anyways, you guys are probably not gona read this until after the kickoff, so this wont matter much and will be swamped by the obligatory forum flooding that unavoidably ensues the kickoff (or so i understand... this is my rookie year :cool: )

Happy Kickoff!

p.s.
it seems that i have missed the kickoff!! ;)

The kickoff is NOT OVER, it doesn't arrive for another hour...the NASA webcast is probably repeating itself because they have no new content...but the kickoff hasn't happened yet, and when it does the video file will be available in the FIRST resource center online. (Don't even say that! :yikes: )

We have it running on two different PC's here, and they are not in sync, but are running fine.

It will be choppy over a slow connection (*COUGH*dialup*COUCH). Try the RealMedia version. You have to download a 10.6MB file, but it is worth every minute in download time. They use good compression, so it will at least be watchable. ;)

I am watching the NASA Channel on DISH NETWORK (Ch 213) and they appeared to be having some issues with their uplink (it was all garbled). Now the picture is clear and I am staring at an empty podium in front of clouds. Where are they?

Start this thing already.
It just went to a garbled first logo. Comon guys. I am getting a headache. Just went black.

works here too http://www.unitedspacealliance.com/live/nasatv.htm but more delay thru there and lower sound quality.
