What an amazing launch, was really worried when they cut away, feeling a lot less worried now that they have solar arrays deployed!I'll break out the Johnnie Walker Blue when they make it to the station. Welcome!

I said earlier I was going to watch it at work. Of course I've been following the whole thing. I'm not getting so much work done, though. High drama, indeed!Welcome, WindnWar!

I'd wager that one functioning pod is about as useful as none, 2-pod failure can be sustained as long as the remaining two are opposite each other.Two opposite pods needed for proper translation.Technically you could de-orbit on one pod if you have the fuel. Thrust in one direction, wait for the spacecraft to rotate, then thrust in the opposite direction to null rotation and add more thrust (and reverse rotation). Kind of a back and forth weaving operation.

Hmm... poor phrasing on my part on the use of the word drug Perhaps dragged them in?
Has Boeing offered to help SpaceX with valve design yet?
