successful orbit insertion. :thumb_up:
Yup. That's the America I love :). Shame the cameras cut out when the booster landed, and a shame about the black booties, but if that's the extent of my disappointment.... it was awesome :D .

EDIT: Apparently the rocket exhaust gasses are ionised so they mess with the radio signal.

Not as much publicity but the dragon crew just made a splash down a few minutes ago. This marks the successful round trip with a crew in the new vehicle, and the dragon officially becomes part of NASA 'routine' missions.
