Wonderfully ironic: They're having tech issues with desk mics in the press room.

Streams seem to be working again, I guess it's better they got tech issues here and not for FH

They should stream "Starman" on that large bank of LED's behind the news desk

The guest of honor is outside the doors. We're almost ready. An anticipatory hush has fallen.

Waiting for Elon.

SpaceX’s successful launch today has pushed our industry to go further faster. Boeing will soon launch our own new rocket intended to take humans to Mars and beyond. Congratulations @SpaceX for your contribution to help innovate, compete, and explore.

Elon is there!

Steven Pietrobon · « **Reply #651 on:** 02/06/2018 11:03 pm »

Elon on stage.

Elon in the room, looking like it was just another average day in ElonWorld.

And they're opening with a video summary of the launch

Steven Pietrobon · « **Reply #654 on:** 02/06/2018 11:04 pm »

Watching a short replay of the launch. Really proud of the SpaceX team.

Elon. Great day. Still seems surreal. Had images of disaster, "but thankfully that's not what happened."

Side booster landing was epic.

Center Core looks like it ran out of the igniter on two of three engines. Hit the water at 300 mph.

ChrisGebhardt · « **Reply #656 on:** 02/06/2018 11:05 pm »

They think they got footage of it.

They weren't going to reuse ANY of the three boosters. So no real loss.

underway

ChrisGebhardt · « **Reply #658 on:** 02/06/2018 11:05 pm »

Upper stage seems to have worked perfectly so far.

Steven Pietrobon · « **Reply #659 on:** 02/06/2018 11:05 pm »

Had image of vehicle exploding on the pad and wheels bouncing away. Most exciting thing I've ever seen.
