Prof. Sam LawlerJust tuned in to the #NordSpace launch because, I don't know, I wanted to feel depressed or something. https://www.youtube.com/live/iyw2Lv2UKxg
The countdown is at zero, and there's incredibly epic music, but... the rocket is sitting there with some black smoke coming out? Huh.
Live - NordSpace First Sub-Orbital Flight
Ross of OttawaWell, that was anticlimactic. Dramatic music and a countdown that bottomed out, but just lots of smoke and flame on the ground just out of frame.
Launch? Zero count reached, but nothing but black smoke.
Just about down to ten seconds!

Seeing some venting from the #NordSpace rocket. Plus the dramatic music has started up on the feed. Can't be long now, right?
Suddenly the #nordSpace vehicle has pressurized tanks and the 'go for launch' icon is highlighted.
Sounds like the boat is cleared from the launch zone, and the 59seconds on the clock might start ticking down.
More likely they'll re-cycle up to 2minutes or something maybe?
I think the launch window for #NordSpace is about done. Just a three minutes left, and 58 seconds on the clock.
