[00:00:21]>> Liftoff for Electron and Fever Lists now on its way to orbit for the ninth time from LC1 force inspective. And we are 43 seconds into flight now with our first milestone coming up and that will be max Q or maximum aerodynamic pressure which is the moment when the combination of electrons velocity and the atmosphere's density creates the greatest amount of stress against the rocket. So let's listen now for the call out from GNC in mission control.
