Yeah, I missed the actual launch, but tuned in about 20 seconds before thee landed the booster back on ground. Then watched until Dragon separated from the second stage. Nice shot of Dragon slowly pulling away from the stage with the blue curvature of the earth below. Must be a fun ride....

Splashdown off the coast of Florida tonight at about 11:04pm eastern. I think it is to be streamed over the SpaceX website. Maybe NASA website too, but not sure.
