I am so glad this went well. Too bad it did not happen on Thanksgiving. I had my laptop out and had all the kids looking over my shoulder watching the two launch attempts. Doing my part to get the younger ones interested.

Nice picture from the space-x site- http://www.spacex.com/media-gallery/detail/90781/2601

Yep, same here!

Thank goodness for Kerbal Space Program. It's a marvelous backup.

Thanks so much for posting that link. I saw the streak picture from another commenter, and wondered if there was a high-res version.

It's so beautiful that I would have it on my wall, but I doubt it would print out nearly as nicely as it appears on-screen.

I was there on the Monday before Thanksgiving and was really disappointed that it didn't happen then.

That picture works really well as a desktop wallpaper (hi-res, dark, not too much contrast)
