Should we create a post-flight updates thread ?
Marc Eisenberg @Marc944Marc 3h3 hours agoAll 11 satellites were placed out of flight mode and into normal Operating mode (to GES). Thanks for all the well wishes.
Marc Eisenberg @Marc944Marc 3h3 hours agoWe'll work for the next couple of months to bring them into commercial service. Have a happy holiday all.
Congrats to Space X.................if the first stage had a camera during boost for launch coverage, is there video of the ENTIRE sequence of turn around, boost back, entry and landing? That would be spectacular to see.

Does anyone have a launch video with radio voice but without the talking heads? They did a good job of covering the launch for the general public but I would prefer the traditional footage, pure rocket..
