The second U/S burn should have started now. No mention on SpaceX's Twitter feed.

Still in a fairly long wait for S/C Sep to be confirmed. I suspect Elon will be the one to tweet. We're watching.

@Molliway: HUGE congrats to the Falcon teams. There are too many to contain in a Tweet, but I assure you their powers of awesome know no bounds.

Ok, thread open to all. As per tradition, everyone is allowed one post of congrats to be part of these Live update threads (historically they are viewed for years to come, nice to plant your name in them).

are we getting the wrong times for these second burns? or are they just being very slow to tell the world that things went OK?
