Is there a rocket involved in all of this somewhere? They even missed the retract.

Apparently poll was at T -38:00 before even prop load? I'm not sure I heard that right.

Spaceflight 101 has a full time data.

Alright, finally the good stuff.

What are the chances of mission success and landing success? Probability of 1. I would say is 90%. Prob of 2 is 33%.

Looks like the webcast will end before the S2 relight. So I guess we will wait for twitter to confirm that it too hopefully goes off as planned.

I haven't been this excited in a long time. I feel like when I was a child watching the first moon landing. Congratulations to Elon Musk and all the SpaceX team on your successful return to flight with the enhanced Falcon 9 V1.1a, as well as the history making first landing of a orbital rocket stage. So cool so proud. Loving it!!!!
