Launch is planned very early on friday, maybe a little too early, but going to try watch it live. Hopefully everything goes well, not like last time when the rocket turned into a giant piece of firework.

Apparently the launch isn't as early as I thought, that's just when the above stream starts broadcasting the event. Hoping for succesful test, so finally there will be some progress towards manned flight and eventually a spacestation. Big explosions will be nice also, but rather like to see the next phase happening.

Unbelievable, entire day of delay because of a defective grid fin actuator. How is it possible such a crucial part is suddenly not working, and they find that out right before launch.

They call it a succesful launch. I wanted to see it land also, that would have been more impressive.
Why bother to repair that defective grid fin actuator? As those grid fins are primarily used for landing... ...If they weren't going to try and land the thing anyway?
