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?
There's a recent comment in the NSF update thread from their site admin that confirms the 5:05pm time (and notes the original 5:50pm time and resulting confusion): SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.1 - Thaicom-6 - NET Jan 3, 2014 - UPDATE THREAD
From the above thread and the update to the article it seems the launch is postponed to Jan 6th? SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.1 Thaicom-6 launch slips to January 6 | NASASpaceFlight.com
This launch just slipped to NET January 6. http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2014/01/spacex-falcon-9-v1-1-static-fire-test-thaicom-6-launch/ "Due to an issue with the Falcon 9′s fairing, the launch has been slightly delayed to No Earlier Than (NET) target of January 6." Anyone know how I can change the original thread title?
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.

That link took me to a creat an account page. I went ahead and did so, and I still can't see the video. GSP
It looks like everything is successful according to the tweets. I watched the whole thing on SpaceX.com webcast.
Orbital Sciences @OrbitalSciences Control team reports signal acquired from #Thaicom6 and vehicle is healthy and performing well early in the mission.
