There is a clock on the feed that shows the clock is at T-20 mins. However I think its going to take an hour to get to that point

Don't know what you're watching, but is definitely a 23:36:42 GMT BST take-off.
Can you see a big orange thing, pointing up in the air?

yup, 20 min countdown right now. Its going to go to -9 mins, and then have a planned 40 min hold Maybe I should send them a watch

Why have a t-20 mins countdown, only to put in on planned hold for 40 mins

The one that shows an hour plus hasn't apparently been reset.

Foooook

Phew T-9 holding for 40 minutes to give the Astronauts drinking up time, presumably

OK, read the clock 101 thing, load of info, but fails the answer the simplest question...why oh why would you have a clock that is meant to countdown, but stops at intervals

ok, there seems to be 2 clocks running

It was T-minus 20 minutes and holding rather than counting.

Launch is indeed scheduled in 1 hour according to the Nasa website 6.36 EDT as you have all pointed out!

T-minus 9 minutes and holding

They hold at 9 mins for 40 mins

Why not just start the clock with a longer time to begin with?
