They are cheering up a storm on the live feed.  Arrays look good.

The daily planning conference on the station opened with crew noting the successful launch so they must have had a live feed.

Congrats to SpaceX, that was great.

Thanks Chris for the embedded feed. I trusted it 100% compared to the last HD NASA feed, and it worked out great!

Back to bed...  :)

great coverage NSF!


Shame about five people completely ignored the clear instructions about who was to cover this to MECO, so as to avoid multiple duplicates. That won't happen again.

Awesome! Dragon is up with solar arrays deployed!

Even if we have major mishaps this is still a success for the launcher.  Congrats to the SpaceX team!

I missed the screen capture, but Shotwell and Lindenmoyer were in the LCC to congratulate the team in person.

'Soaring Hawk Observatory' here in rural Galveston County has CLEAR SKIES and we are awaiting the completion of Rev-1 so we can watch Dragon and its associated objects coming out of shadow. If you know anybody else along the ground track, wake them up and tell them to go outside and LOOK, about 13 minutes after the ISS flyover. plus or minus.
