Strange; my computer clock, which is synchronized to a network time
server, read later than 11:19. I was paying attention, because I had
read that the launch was to take place at 11:18. Maybe the Webcast was
delayed a minute or more? I had no sound with it, and was wondering if
the launch had been postponed again.
