At least I got some rest and didn't pull an all nighter like I did for STS-120 (solar array repair). Or for STS-31 (HST launch) - I could not sleep AT ALL before that launch, back when I was in college. I got up just in time for the best parts of this flight day. I think we've all been jonesing for some new spaceflight excitement ever since STS-135. I know I have. And I don't consider myself a "SpaceX person" per se, I've been waiting to see if they could come through on at least some of their promises before getting excited about them. They certainly are delivering on this flight so far!I agree- I've been dying for some spaceflight excitement for a long time. And I don't care who delivers it What the heck was MSL?Jeesh The launch was great but the real excitement won't begin until it lands and starts working.If it lands. My wife is very concerned that those cord thingies will get tangled.

Anyone else a bit dissapointed with SpaceX not having a livestream yet with the website sill announcing that it will be starting ... over an hour ago. They could at least put up a notice.
It says 8:45 AM ET. It's about that time now. Not sure what you mean by an hour ago.
