Livestream Y U FAIL ME NOW

(yes, on top of downlink problems...)

Livestream failed me at T-8 seconds.

Yeah; disappointing cutouts here and there. But I'm glad it went well.

Looks like orbit is good.

Video missed everything of interest.

Although didn't expect to see 1st stage recovery.

Still, I'll take glitchy video of a perfect launch over perfect video of a RUD any day.

They show launch. But no stage sep. Only before and after...

Obviously.

way to go SpaceX. You have earned your next diploma.
Congrats!!
Canada thanks you for a successful launch of her bird.

I agree thanks Space X.

Congrats SpaceX!

September 29, 2013 - a momentous day for commercial space.

Congratulations on a perfect launch!

-10 PR points to SpaceX for closing out webcast before spacecraft sep and before hearing any word about Stage 1 re-entry (didn't expect pics of that but even something about "going nominally" / "we lost contact" would have been nice).

But I guess it was still better than before (the earlier Dragon webcasts were painful to watch as it was clearly aimed at joe sixpack level watchers... this not so much)

Congrats to SpaceX!

When's the press conference, exactly?

Falcon H · « **Reply #532 on:** 09/29/2013 04:21 pm »

That was an amazing launch, so glad it went well. Another step towards manned dragon flights.

......by the way, does any body know if they recovered the first stage?

Awesome party to attend in person loud and bright!

Outstanding job SpaceX!

meekGee · « **Reply #535 on:** 09/29/2013 04:22 pm »

The rocket clearly worked.

No information about S/C separation - and no information about the lack of information - adds to the eerie silence over this flight. Weird.

And what about the first stage !!!!

Kaputnik · « **Reply #536 on:** 09/29/2013 04:23 pm »

Congratulations to the team- fantastic launch.
Hope the sep has gone nominally as well to round it all off.

What's our best source of updates now- twitter? When can we expect a press conference?

rickl · « **Reply #537 on:** 09/29/2013 04:24 pm »

I wonder why there was no ground-based video after liftoff. There was only the rocket cam as far as I could see.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #538 on:** 09/29/2013 04:24 pm »

Everyone find the site nice and smooth? I know I did and we're packed out.

I love these new servers!!
