AMAZING launch SpaceX!!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear more. The roll is possibly an issue but nothing compared to what could have transpired. Great job!!

AGreed - but given the criteria for a first time launch this is a great success - if that roll is the worst anomoly they had then they should have TONS of data to work on to correct - They made orbit which was the BEST day scenario set out by Elon... Well done.. Great drama too...

Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhh!

Just a thought, could the roll be intended to stabilize the second stage somehow?
