I think they said something like they are launching at around 22:32:36 UTC.
Or thereabouts...

I love their ridiculously accurate timings. And the abbreviations for everything (AFE?).

Hehe... 5 hours waiting in the sun for a launch which lasted about 3 minutes (then you couldn't see them) then another hour waiting for the solid traffic jam to start moving.....
And everyone thought it was launching from over there but it was actually launching from over there. :roll:

But it was a great fun day!

Only 9 minutes left!
After a 45 minute hold, and probably another hold at 1 minute or something........

They're never in a hurry.

Well each 1 second error would put them nearly 8 kilometers out from their target position :o (relative to the ISS)
