HTV3 NASA Launch 9:15 EST

[Lil Robot]

right now, NASA is preparing to launch the HTV3--something that will be installed to a japanese station up in space, with an experimental television camera and something used to measure the weather in Earth's atmosphere.

and also a little surprise from valve.

EDIT: revision: the broadcast earlier said "a japanese station". the true station is ISS.

10:06 EST is new launch time.

Does anybody know if this is being launched from a NASA launch site in the US, or from Japan?

Holy crap look at all of the LN2 to the right of the ship, it's like a huge fog bank of it.

It's going to the ISS. Not a "Japanese station".
