    Is there any pub in Dublin showing this on a big screen?

    ha ha I doubt it

    if you asked they might turn it on, CNN usually show a few minutes of CRS launches

    very good chance of this one being historic

    Euro News might show it live. They do show the ESA rocket launch,s live sometimes.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I think the launch is at 15:21:00 for us since we are GMT+1 and 4 hours ahead of EST. Stupid daylight savings.

    I'm more interesting in sharing the excitement, its easy to get the live video on the internet .. I found an IRC chatroom #space on irc.netsplit.de and it seems to have interesting discussion. For some reason I'm more interested in seeing a sucessful landing by the rocket

    Yeah sucks...was really hoping they would nail the barge landing this time around. No doubt this will set them back cost-wise.

    Thanks for the video, I was just catching up hoping for good news.
    Fierce disappointing.
    What's the story with resupply now ? :eek:
    Didn't the last resupply go wrong too ? (haven't really kept up to date)

    Fup it anyways :( - I was only over in the Air and Space museum near Dulles on Friday and our tour guide was saying how SpaceX were going so well, big set-back for Musk and co.

    Have rewatched the failure now frame by frame and the odd bit is that the first stage engines (all 9 of them) apper to be firing all the way through the cloud of smoke and debris. The first cloud appears to come from the second stage or near the top anyway. S2 engine chilldown gone bad maybe?

    With Antares stood down, Progess having issues, ATV retired and now Spacex having problems ISS resupply is certainly in a bit of trouble. The international docking adapter is a big loss - will likely set back commercial crew program.
