If anyone knows a better website to watch on today feel free to share. Grumpy might know of one. Anyway, here it is on youtube. Might be a little too much Elan Musk to watch it all afternoon.

I think that was a good route to take, putting this in the private enterprise sector.. There should be more things done this way instead of the government.

To think that 50 years ago everyone would have watched a launch, mostly in black and white, and still loved it! Yes it was nice. Has to be very exciting for the astronauts and hearing the people cheering in the background was neat.

I thought it was cool having all those camera angles. Not only the launch, but you could also see the pilots, separation of rocket stages, the landing of the first stage, ect... all live, very nice
