No, just watching the SpaceX feed, which is now back to the Dragon Dubstep.

The cheering on the webcast is ominous. SO great to hear!

Ominous?

It gave me goosebumps when they erupted into cheers.

The kids who started their internship today have absolutely the best day of their working career on their first day.

Another thought...

For someone too young for apollo and the shuttles first launches this is such an amazing feeling

Awesome! Nobody is going to bed in Hawthorne tonight, I bet! Gotta break out the Champagne

for a second after i switched the webcast on i thought the monitor there was the view thru the open hangar door. That's confidence, putting the guys that close to the pad... >_>

WOOO HOOO!!!!! So excited...

I loved the camera angles. I am looking forward VERY much to the muse-soundtrack covered high-def video of this entire mission. Or the first videos and photographs taken by astronauts...

Well I can forget going back to sleep now

Well that was fun. I set my alarm but couldnt sleep.

Rahkashi · « **Reply #410 on:** 05/22/2012 08:05 am »

Fantastic. Well worth getting up at 2 am. I can forget sleeping now.

Bubbinski · « **Reply #411 on:** 05/22/2012 08:05 am »

I'll try to go back to sleep. But I'm a little keyed up right now.

Let's go and have a successful berth and capture on Friday.

DanielW · « **Reply #412 on:** 05/22/2012 08:05 am »

Whew. Well that settled my stomach. Much better now. Thanks Spacex.

Hopefully they'll see even better in the coming years.

I'm glad I got all my sleep ahead of time--way too pumped to fall back asleep. Great show SpaceX, it was a good date for my SO and I.

Elon just tweeted :

"feels like a giant weight off my back"

So he was feeling the pressure just a little I guess

Those cheers when the arrays deployed were great. Love the enthusiasm that come from this team.

Anybody know where to get the twolines for the dragon capsule from? Then we could put it on heavens-above.com.
