So far, so nominal.

Stage separation, Dragon separation, solar array unfolding, star sighting 
capture, internal telemetry checks….

I am collecting the best of the videos, photos and updates here:

You gotta hear the 1,800 employees cheering at Mission Control at 1am.

hesitation. So much nicer than HAL9000 :)"

Subject: [LUNAR general:] Re: Falcon 9

I was up late last night, so took a moment from the work stuff I was doing to 
watch the launch webcast.  Was very cool.  I especially liked the 8-pointed 
star pattern of the flame front in the night as the Falcon climbed.

Looks like they had a good launch, I have not heard details yet about the 
orbital insertion and the scattering of the ashes in the 2nd stage compartment 
(including James Doohan / Scotty from Star Trek).  Here is the spacex site

with links to video and photos.

Congrats to all the SpaceX guys and good luck on the orbital and docking 
maneuvers to make this flight a total success!!!
