#12Apparently reliably streaming video is harder than rocket science.
To be fair, there were a ton of international mirrors in popular streaming services (livestream.com, ustream.tv) as well as international news agencies (bbc.co.uk for example) which worked flawlessly.
I was watching livestream.com using VLC + livestreamer script and it worked without any issues.
The problem is that these mirrors should have been listed clearly at the nasatv site as well as in www.nasa.gov/orion.

I found it funny how people were posting ustream mirrors. All of ustream was struggling, so all the re-streams were buffering too.

I should point out that "it" is still going on, the mission is rather hectic four hour mission concluding in atmospheric re-entry, splashdown and recovery. There should be plenty of fantastic footage coming up in the next few hours, it's worth staying tuned.
Now to grab some lunch to be back in time for the second stage burn to 3200 nm apogee orbit (3640 mi = 5760 km).

Fair and true enough! :-)

#16I 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.
The audio from all the different camera views was the same, I noticed. Notably, the sound obviously came from a microphone on the ground, fairly close to the rocket. This can be deduced by the fact that there is very little delay between the light up and the start of the noise, and the fact that the character of the sound changes when the rocket is a couple of rocket-lengths above the launch platform.
While I personally would prefer to have the authentic sound, I can understand why they did it this way.

Actually I'd put them on around the same level of complexity from an engineering perspective.
Have you thought, recently, how difficult it really is to broadcast video to millions of viewers and all of the individual moving parts that make that happen? It's mind boggling.

#18I will cheer every launch but I must admit, after watching so many SpaceX launches, I twiched when I heard "feet per second" and all the other imperial units :p

#20Stream mirrors: http://www.livestream.com/spaceflightnow http://www.ustream.tv/nasahdtv Can be opened using VLC + Livestreamer script.
The ustream feed has been the most reliable for me; NASA TV site stream always seems to stutter or go offline at all the most exciting parts of any event.
