• Congratulations to everyone at SpaceX!   
  
  Even on an expendable launch (funny how strange this sounds already), they weaseled in some advancements; compacting the count by 10 minutes. SpaceX never misses an opportunity to continuously improve in every aspect of their operation. Great work!

• Awesome.
  Launch acceleration looks about 1g... this rocket needs larger second stage?

• Congrats to all the hard work of SpaceX, Immarsat and the all the other folks on the range and to the peeps that keep these threads full of info.

• Congratulations on hopefully one of the last SpaceX fully expendable launches (since there is no indication at the moment that fairy recovery attempt was planned either) !
  Now to bring back everything !!! :-D
  Oh, and we would loooove to see that hypothetical death cam footage from S1 !
