Countdown timer for those in the rest of the world https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20240606T0...

Hm, for me that's counting up and says "Time since Thursday, 6 June 2024 at 7:00:00 a.m. (UTC time)".

I think I made a working one: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/launch?iso=20240606T07...

Is this feed live? Asking because I see a ~20 minute gap with the official countdown time.

I’m going to watch an alternative stream (probably Everyday Astronaut’s or NSF’s) on my TV just because I can’t be bothered with working out how to stream X to it. I’m sure I’m not the only one. IFT-3 I ended up watching some random restream of the official X stream on YouTube, which was actually less delayed/buffered than X on my phone was

Space affairs has nothing added

Does "something went wrong" mean you have to be logged in to view it, like you have to be logged in to do anything on the musk hellsite these days?

Yeah. As a logged-in user I can see it, but it is not playing yet.

Pretty sure you're still an hour out, 06:00 instead of 07:00. I gave it a location of Brownsville, Texas, and it's right.
