Liftoff! First attempt the auto-sequence didn't start properly, but on a retry they've achieved liftoff. The screams from the mission control feed gave me goos

Liftoff! First attempt the auto-sequence didn't start properly, but on a retry they've achieved liftoff. The screams from the mission control feed gave me goosebumps.

Yes, that was exciting. Parachutes seems to have failed though the payload looks fine. Anyway, great achievement, congratulations!

  Yeah, that's unfortunate. Looking at the feed now, it seems that the capsule has 'landed' intact in the sea. It remains to be seen exactly what condition it is in when recovered.

There is something universally awesome about watching people be rewarded for their dedication and audacity. A huge congrats to the ones behind this! (despite a mixed result)
