Jesus Christ thank you, the NASA one keeps cutting out
>>7703872
Heh, i never even got it to stream.
why the 30 minute delay??
>>7703883
Have to wait for the ISS to line up at the right moment. They basically got the rocket ready early so they had extra time to address any unforeseen issues.

>>7703974
Exhaust from turbopumps
What sort of engine is it using right now?
>>7703977

I will never not be fascinated by the lack of a visible flame on these things
>>7703861
Jesus christ the youtube-chat on that stream is just painful to watch
>>7703984
Yea i was wondering by how you couldn't see a flame
we should crash this shit into isis
When is this going to meet the ISS?
>>7704000
Probably a couple of days, the usual for Cygnus
>>7703994
Has to do with the fuel, as far as i can tell. LOX and LHo does not make much visible flame.
>>7704007
Oh they approach very slowly huh
I guess thats how they get a large launch window
>>7704014
It's only cargo so no rush in getting it to the ISS like a crewed mission
