congratulations SpaceX, Falcon Heavy, Elon, and Starman!

Those 27 Merlins lifting from the launchpad, making what's nearly impossible look so, so easy.

I was listening to the countdown net on my laptop and just around the time the center core was landing there was "We lost the center core" announced on the countdown net. I sure hope I heard wrong...

Congratulations to the over 6,000 SpaceX employees who had their names on the roadster mount!  Safe journey Starman.  Had three other people in my cube watching this all amazed.

Well Elon said clearing the pad would count as success, so I guess it's not too early to say...

CONGRATULATIONS to the thousands of people who made this possible, thank you for the inspiration, and for making sci fi  the new reality
Godspeed Starman!

Mission isn't over yet... 2 more burns to go!  Can we try to keep this to updates until then?

That's the most excitement I think I've ever seen from John Innsbruker.  It sure was exciting for me!  Well done, well played, well, let's party!
