    Previous post had a link to nasaspaceflight.com that said the window was from 5:50pm - 7:17pm. This link from today also says the window is 5:50pm - 7:17pm Successful Hot-Fire Test Clears SpaceX for 3 January Launch of Thaicom-6 AmericaSpace

    My gut is telling me the the floridatoday.com article is incorrect and the window doesn't open until 5:50pm. Anyone else have any input to this discrepancy?

    From the above thread and the update to the article it seems the launch is postponed to Jan 6th?

    Thanks for the updates Mario and claytorj -- I changed the thread title (again!) to match.

    RE: thread-starting users changing the thread title -- find your first post in the thread, click Edit Post, then click Go Advanced. There's a place at the top where you can change the post title, which since it's the first post in the thread is also the thread title.

    Actually, only mods are able to change thread titles. Normal users can change the title of their posts (including the first post of a thread), but it won't actually change the title of the thread unless you have mod or better privileges.

    Any way to see this without setting up a live stream account? Thanks.

    Hmm, shouldn't need an account to watch any livestream. Go here and try the CES stuff: http://new.livestream.com/home

    That link took me to a creat an account page. I went ahead and did so, and I still can't see the video.

    It looks like everything is successful according to the tweets. I watched the whole thing on SpaceX.com webcast.
