As exciting as it is to have SpaceX launching the Falcon 9, that Ariane 5 LOOKS like a rocket that means business! Plus, maybe Cape Canaveral should spring for more palm trees.
Hopefully I get back from the movies in time to watch the liftoff Saturday. Go Echostar XVIII!!!

Got home just in time and I see it is delayed till tomorrow. OH well. What app is it Scott?Download the app Charles.
OK, thanks. I tried searching for that in Google Play Store while we were out and didn't see it. Will try again.
Just got this from DISH...
DISH will broadcast the launch of Echo XVIII to DISH team members on our internal employee channel. A live stream of the launch will be available on the Arianespace website (http://www.arianespace.com/mission/ariane-flight-va230/).
It looks like it is on Channel 90. Says to tune in at June 18th at 4:15pm et for the Echostar XVIII Launch!
And now I see a new HD channel on 91 that is broadcasting the Launch in HD!
I saw this this morning but it would not let me create a timer for it on my 4K Joey. Now that we're close to the actual event, I've pressed record and manually extended it to 5:45pm EDT.
Ooo, Countdown at 60!
Ooo, Countdown at 60!
Hmm, not good, the countdown went red.
Edit: Okay, maybe it's the way to freeze the count at T-07m00s until they're ready to pick it up for the 4:45pm EDT launch.
And now we wait for everyone to make it so.
