One of the creators of a television science fiction series has produced a highlight video, set to David Bowie's Starman, that shows some new footage of the core stage watery crash.....I have embedded the video below the fold. To me, the best part is the footage of the spectators, including the many children, wonder-struck by the launch. Some of that footage is very reminiscent of footage taken during the Apollo Saturn 5 launches in the late 1960s.....To the next generation: We are going to the Moon -- and beyond. And this time we are going to stay.

Cool!
Very nice!
...all those young faces. Just look at all those young faces, with New Dreams — back to Space—to stay, they say.
It’s OK to dream the impossible, and to just do it, in America again.
Make no mistake, this IS a milestone, and a Fulcrum Moment.
We have had no exciting joint dreams, as a country, for a long time — and our Spirit showed it.
Drive on in whimsy, Starman, “First star on the right, then straight on till morning.”
First time I have seen video of the center core crash. It got close to the barge.
The flight path is designed to miss the barge if something is wrong.
I liked the live footage with the SpaceX employees cheering.
Some of the live footage from Cape Canaveral is great, too. You can hear people cheering from miles around.
And there was something definitely wrong. Did you see how fast it was coming down as it went into the water? Would have destroyed everything if it hit the barge.
Nice video anyways.
