Wow, these people have been WAY over directed, they look like horrible B rated actors instead of the engineers they are. Hope they calm down.

Drop them an email or something, they probably would listen to you and are a bit too busy to read your comments on NSF anyways.

SFN: "there's a humorous secret payload that I can't tell you about." Musk said.

I'm not getting all of the webcast, have they talked about first stage recovery at all?

Smooth countdown. Range is good. Green weather on first and second windows.

T-15 minutes.

Dave G, First State Recovery was not mentioned at all during the user friendly webcast, they've now gone quiet so we can hear the actual countdown prompts.

T-15.

They reminded us that first stage recovery may take several launches to work.

SFN reported a while ago that weather was RED for recovery.
