Congrats SpaceX... as a high school teacher, i've transferred (at least part of) my excitement over to the kids... I know some of them were watching tonight and the ones who weren't will see the replay tomorrow (once I find a link!!)

I hope its now OK to send congratulations to SpaceX for a successful launch, but very strange coverage after entering orbit with them cutting off the live feed, having to rely on twitter updates.

Release the hounds.

I wonder if any contracts have been waiting for this mission to be successful.
