Pretty spectacular launch and "skid pad" test this morning.

Launch is at about 44:55 into the video.

I think I might have.

I didn't but I sure like it. Did you notice one of the engines blow at 45:34? I was amazed at how well the rest of it held together with all that commotion.

If you watch the indictor on the left it shows the engines. There were 3 out at launch, 6 out at about 8KM but one of them relit so 5 out at MECO. Of course, it wasn't carrying a payload so they had some margin of error.

Buddy of mine that follows this more closely than I do says he recalls Musk saying at full load they could have 3 engines out and still launch.

That was cheating, using telemetry to simulate the landing rather than actually show it from a camera.

So far, it looks like it didn't go well....

Yeah, I think it is presumed crashed. I only heard about it today so wasn't sure what they would be streaming. Real time video is actually hard to send long distances, I'm sure they had a camera running to transmit compressed later.
