I love that I can watch this stuff live. I get updates from the Mars rover on my facebook, with new pics all the time. I'm glad that even though most people don't understand or care why this stuff is important. I can still watch from the sidelines. In HD.

I hope that wasn't open to the public, because I only live a few miles from the Museum and if I missed that, I'd be bummed. |

There must be other cameras that they're not using for the public feed. I've head the controllers referring to "camera panning left..." etc. with no footage. I understand why they might not want to put some film online, I just would like to have watched the solar array deploy.

I watched it on the NASA site, but the SpaceX site has better footage from multiple angles, including some awesome footage of stage separation. Watch it again from here: http://www.spacex.com/webcast/

What that video does not show is one of the main engines exploding. SpaceX is responding with a "Nothing to see here folks" attitude.
Long way to go before that sucker is man rated.

It still successfully put the cargo in the preplanned orbit, compensating for the #1 engine failure on the first stage. (Resulting in approximately 30 second longer burn) Pretty awesome actually to get to test that at this level, instead of when they are hurdling humans into space. MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2012 0245 GMT (10:45 p.m. EDT Sun.) SpaceX says Engine No. 1 on the Falcon 9 rocket's first stage experienced some sort of anomaly about 80 seconds into the launch. Elon Musk, SpaceX's CEO and chief designer, said the engine was shut down by the rocket's on-board computers. "Falcon 9 detected an anomaly on one of the nine engines and shut it down," Musk wrote in an email to Spaceflight Now. "As designed, the flight computer then recomputed a new ascent profile in realtime to reach the target orbit, which is why the burn times were a bit longer." The first stage burned nearly 30 seconds longer than planned. Nine Merlin 1C engines power the Falcon 9's first stage, generating nearly a million pounds of thrust. The kerosene-fueled engines are built by SpaceX at the company's headquarters in Hawthorne, Calif. Engine No. 1, positioned on one of the corners of the tic-tac-toe pattern of first stage engines, was shut down earlier than planned, according to Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX's president. Shotwell said she was not sure of the cause of the problem, but the engine was turned off. "Like the Saturn 5, which experienced engine loss on two flights, the Falcon 9 is designed to handle an engine flameout and still complete its mission," Musk said. "I believe Falcon 9 is the only rocket flying today that, like a modern airliner, is capable of completing a flight successfully even after losing an engine. There was no effect on Dragon or the space station resupply mission." http://www.spaceflightnow.com/falcon9/004/status.html |

SpaceX is calling it an "anomaly".
The engine bell exploded. They are very lucky the whole rocket did not blow up. |

Would you launch human cargo in that config ? 2 Apollo missions completed orbit with an engine cut-off after launch. There is a difference between an engine cut-off and an engine explosion. SpaceX got real lucky on this one. |
