Live rocket launch

Just... Wow!!

[Stu]

Unreal! That was amazing, particularly the simultaneous landing of the two boosters.

Enjoyed that. A lot!

That was one of the most remarkable sights I have ever seen - Gerry Anderson eat your heart out!

WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW ..... 

[johnfosteruk]

Absolutely fantastic.  And to think that nearly every part is reusable. I think Musk's dream is going to come true you know.

I just hope they release some really nice high speed close up footage of the lift off.

The simultaneous booster landings were surreal, like an animation.

Well, done that team. They made it look easy!

[Peco4321]

I feel drained. Absolutely amazing. I've been banging on about this for ages to colleagues and friends and loads watched it. Massive smile on my face now. 

[Scosmico]

can you see it crossing the skies over the UK?

Bag me a ticket please, Mars all the way

That was one of the best things I have ever witnessed.  Only second to this was watching Felix take a big step into nothing.......

A major historical moment that I was glad to have witnessed.  The simultaneous booster landing was unreal.

Cannot wait for the next one and hope that goes as 'nominal' as this launch.

And just in case you were unaware of what a monster they just threw into space

[Mr niall]

amazing! One of the best things I’ve ever watched, even managed to get Mrs Niall interested! That’s one to tell the grandkids about!

And for those that missed it  including me, here it is again

I reckon the centre core has had it though - you could see he got some news and then was told not to share it and spoil the moment...

[SilverAstro]

Some twitter reports saying center core lost

You could be right but that's ok, more data, less failures in future.

Don't forget the mission's not complete yet:
