I'm suprised they don't have a PPV channel!

Looks like they ran into some technical problems, the launch clock has been delayed another 24hrs. Its know counting down from around 40 hrs from the origninal 19 hrs a few minutes ago!!!

Smthkd · 05-21-2005, 01:26 AM

Did the launch get delayed a little? It looks like it will go off at around 1:00 PM MST.

Yeah, I think they did have a little hiccup but know it seems like everything is back on schedule!
