If you prefer a more "clean feed" with just the actual launch team comms with the occasional regular commentary, this is stream for you:
Thanks for this. The endless Boeing infomercial was driving me nuts.

Hmm...might actually get to the ISS this time. The RCS activity post burn seems strange, but there may be reasons for that of which I am unaware.

Until tomorrow, fly safe.

As far as I understand it, they are checking out the RCS.

What sort of thruster margin do they need for NASA to permit them to approach and dock with ISS? Losing command authority on final approach would not be a good thing.

I'm thinking there are some more bugs to be worked out. :(
