4 minutes and counting!
Good launch and good preliminary orbit.
It was kinda cool, I had never seen one where they had the camera on the craft looking back down. watched it until mes1 or so then got bored...
Then you MUST watch a SpaceX launch. They have cameras everywhere, including on the booster as it comes back down and lands. Next one of those is set for Thursday at 9:35 am Eastern. Watch it here...

Rocky,
what are the four towers around the launch pad, lightning rods or another purpose?
Mule
Lightning rods. Not to be confused with "lightening " rods.
I just read Russia is holding satellites I do not recall the number they were suppose to launch for the EU but now have demands
