    Well, would you look at that...

    You and I, plus whoever else the third vote was from were actually right! :)

    And it didn't even blow up on the way to space, either!!

    When I saw the news this morning I now know that it is fairly safe for me to vote for Wednesday Nov 16th.

      LOL, yeah...

      The 27 actual poll results before the launch were:

      3 - Today* (winner, winner!)
      0 - Saturday, November 19th
      1 - Friday, November 25th
      2 - Sometime in December
      11 - Sometime in 2023
      8 - Never
      2 - Other (please specify in comments)

      * Technically it was yesterday here still when it launched, since it was still well before midnight Pacific time and thus still Tuesday. :)

        I voted for Sometime in 2023. I had no faith that it would actually launch this Calendar year. What with the inspection after the hurricane and all that, too.

        Well, now it's 12 votes on the first option. Seems nine people have voted after they knew the answer. :-)
        More interesting is that the total number of votes is now 45. Which means that another 9 people voted for options that were provably false at the time of voting.

          I had inside (Thursday morning) information. Never pass up a sure bet.
