Unfortunately the feed died for me ~20s before launch (in S. America, and also for several people I was online chatting with [US, Ukraine]). After a bit, the audio briefly came back and I heard the sound of the rocket engine and the announcer say "exploration", which I take to mean the rocket launched. NASA's twitter account also says the rocket lauched[0] and 17 min to orbit[1].

EDIT: Looks like the feed is now revived (12:11 UTC).

It went down for a lot of people, looking at the twitter feed on the side of http://www.ustream.tv/nasahdtv a lot of people are complaining. I was at T-9 seconds and it died.

I really enjoyed the part when they streamed from the camera attached to Orion and the audio gradually silenced, since the rocket was leaving the atmosphere and no air could be used for a sound wave medium.

I was wondering why I missed it. The video wouldn't load for a few minutes and when I finally was able to start viewing again the rocket was already T+2:35ish :/
