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 Space Age is just starting to get interesting.

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

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... >_>

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...

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.
I'll even excitedly look forward to "flags and footprints" and suborbital missions. Just fly...somewhere.

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  :P
