Where do I begin? I was watching “live” last night, starting with the astronauts being suited up. Watched them being driven out to the launch pad, being prepped by ULA employees in the clean room outside the hatch, getting loaded into the spacecraft, strapped in, all the while listening either to the on-air ladies talking about the astronauts, the spacecraft, the mission. There were brief comments from the ULA flight controllers on the mission status, up to the announcement scrubbing the flight. In the meantime, I fired up my laptop- what I like to do is watch a launch on two different devices- one, my 55” TV, and two, my tablet or laptop. I know, one should suffice, but I’m a geek😁-what can I say… On the TV, I was watching on NASA TV, on the laptop, I was watching on NASA’s YouTube feed. I got confused real fast- I was watching “live” on the TV- the astronauts were being strapped in. On NASA’s YouTube feed, they were already being driven BACK to the crew’s facility! I’m like-“what’s going on here?” I kept watching- what it comes down to, is, NASA’s “live” feed on the NASA TV app on my TV was 45 minutes behind the YouTube app on my laptop! I expected a delay of some seconds, but NOT 45 minutes. At least on previous launches I’ve seen, that’s been the case. WHAT THE HELL, NASA?
