On 9 minutes of countdown, and just entered the last programmed hold. That lasts for 45 minutes, so expected launch time is about 11:53 our time. Still weather problems that may postpone the launch again.

Gah, what happened to the days of Apollo when they launched through anything? Apollo 12 went up in a night time thunderstorm where two lightning strikes followed the ship straight back to the launch pad, Pete Conrad saying "We just lost the platform"
3 reasons for no-go at the minute................. cancellation likely.

The sound seems very quiet though.
Tried increasing it, but not much of an improvement.
Don't want to turn my PC speakers volume up too much, as an incoming mail notification sound will blow them apart.

it goes quiet when not on the main rocket view.
