Press kit is up.
http://www.spacex.com/sites/spacex/f...resskit_v1.pdf The timing is the most interesting to me. Max-Q happens in only 1:06, and BECO (booster engine cutoff) happens at 2:29. And almost most interestingly, all three boosters will land within 21 seconds of each other at ~8 minutes - two on land and one at sea. |

My fiancé has been giving me a hard time because I have been talking nonstop about this for a week now. I have a viewing party set up at work and I may cry if this works like it should.

Too go or not was going to be a last minute thing. Planned everything, just had to pull a series of triggers to make it happen. Unfortunately, my little guy came up with a fever of 101.8. Needless to say, our plans were scrapped.
