FOX news is showing it also.

Cloudy here in central FL; on a clear day we can see the vapor trail from Canaveral (about 80 miles ENE), and on a clear night we can see the rocket flame, but there’s no use trying to see it today.

Sure looked like a very dirty burn the last few seconds of the first stage. What are they burning?

Is this the one where they expected one of the stages to return with a controlled vertical landing in the ocean?

Yes. We’ll probably have to wait a little while to get the news.

I see the photo on the Spacex website, but no video of the launch. Yet.

Thanks. I wonder if they expect to get video?

Here is an update from Spaceflight Now that they made about an hour ago.
During the final phase of the launch, a member of the SpaceX launch team said the first stage had re-ignited and ground teams were receiving video of the stage during descent into the Atlantic Ocean. We’ll provide an update on that phase of the mission when we have more information.

Hopefully the first stage landed on the Russian tug boat sitting out there.

Orbit insertion and Dragon deploy all good. Falcon reentry burn also good. Waiting for landing data from tracking plane.
