Staging.  1-2 Sep.  Second stage ignition.

I really they hadn't switched away from the live camera to the graphic JUST AS they were about to go through staging.  It was dim and blurry but definitely would have been visible.

great graphics..

If you are being sarcastic, I agree :)

No live data like on a US EELV launch.  Limited access I guess due to the private launcher.

So far so good! Planned MECO-1 orbit was 180 x 1553 km

Hey, I'm going to be in Long Beach in January for the American Astronomical Society meeting - anyone at Sea Launch want to give me a tour of their stuff?
