Interesting that SpaceX buildings have lots of open space, with high visibility into everyone's cube and meeting rooms...

The feed quality has gotten much better.

Anyone know what UKFAS means?

Looks pretty windy at the launch site- the flag's really moving.

Max Vozoff (blue shirt) is actually Senior Mission Manager/Dragon Product Manager at SpaceX - not just a talking head.

He's also a former JPLer and a nice guy; he give us JPL interns a tour of El Segundo two years ago. The new facility is much, much nicer looking than the "cubicles on a shop floor" before the move...

Will record the launch and upload it if the quality turns out okay. Sorry, but it will not have audio.

Cut Max off to go back to Elon's walkthrough video.

I sure wouldn't like it.

Maybe Musk is paranoid and needs to spy on people. That would be why there is "high visibility into everyone's cube".
