Sounds like they're offloading the fuel -- at least partially -- for some reason.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

I thought it was supposed to be a countdown, not a countup - the minutes seem to be going up the last few times I checked.

Both stages are full of liquid oxygen, fuel (RP-1), and helium. We are ready to go into the terminal count, which is the last 10 minutes of automated countdown. Step 110 has been completed; reports are we are clear for launch.Libraries are state sanctioned, so they're technically engaged in privateering. - Felch
