Not unexpected given the forecasts beforehand. Let's hope it's behaving itself on Saturday.
A still more glorious dawn awaits, not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise, a morning filled with 400 billion suns - the rising of the Milky Way

Re: US astronaut launch 27/05/2020
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 
.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.
