Watching live. Occainsonal semi-snarky Eastern Daylight/Central Standard Time/Countdown Time/DST/etc about the displayed countdown times.
Interesting that the commentators are emphasizing the more aggressive flight profile and higher heat loads.
Many congratulations to all.

Live, about 12 minutes after launch. Launch, MECO, staging and separation were good.
Booster flight back looked OK, sounded OK in comments, but the SpaceX launch team did not try a booster catch in the tower. Splashed down offshore was under control, at controlled speed and angle.
Then big boom.
Much fireworks.
