Absolutely incredible!! I've been watching launches since the Project Mercury flights, and it never gets old.

But every once in a while, you get something REALLY special. This was one of those.

Congrats to everyone at SpaceX. Well done!

Incredible. Congratulations to SpaceX and everyone who contributed to this achievement. We all feel such a connection watching online or from the cape and we are celebrating with you. We couldn't be more proud of our fellow humans!
Go SpaceX, go Tesla, go Starman!

SpaceX -

THAT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!

I did not know that the real thing could both mimic the simulation, and surpass it. The dual booster landing... WOW!

And my co-worker here mentioned: "Did you notice who was not at the Web-Cast? Elon! - He is actually StarMan riding in his own car!"

Congratulations SpaceX, The NSF team, and all involved in this truly historic occasion! (And I hope the core landed - only thing we didn’t get to see).

Congrats to SpaceX on the stunning launch, and thanks so much to Chris B and Chris G - their Twitter feeds were all I was following today, and I'm so grateful for making following it so easy!

The announcer clearly states We lost the center core:

T+28 minutes 22 seconds. Second burn should be happening now. Burn is for 30 seconds to put payload into a 6 hour Earth orbit.

Thank you SpaceX for this wonderful demo flight!

Congrats to the SpaceX team on an amazing accomplishment! First launches are always tense, you folks show great professionalism and poise.

Here's to many more successes! Keep up the hard work!

And thanks to Chris B, Chris C, and all the updaters, it wouldn't have been the same without you!

Seems the strapon booster feeds were duplicated,

Yes, they accidentally showed twice the feed from a single booster and nothing from the other.

Congratulation to SpaceX for achieving what many though impossible. Even if you lost the center core, still a huge success and something to improve on further. Also, next time please really show both side boosters and not one twice

Lets do that (even more successful) again later that year.

Fantastic, thank you to NSF and congrats to SpaceX! Any chance of a post-launch presser, or would that be after the coast phase?
