any chance that the takeoff will be broadcast live on the news ? I remember they did that for the A380......

Live coverage here:

It's scheduled to take off at 10:00am UTC which is 6am EDT and 3am PDT - I doubt anyone will cut away from the overnight infomercials for it. Coverage begins at 7am UTC on the above link.

I'd be excited if it wasn't a rip-off of the 787.

It'll only be a ripoff if they have battery issues and get grounded.
