We often ignore the contributions of Gwynne Gurevich (Shotwell) who has provided much of the energy and guidance of SpaceX since day one, leading to this success.
Did anybody see that flash of flame at about T+2 about 1/3 the way up the rocket? It was a brief flash that seemed connected to one of the umbilical cables...
Rick, it was just some RP1 that ignited after flowing out of an umbilical hose. Looked impressive, but not that big of a deal, and will be a relatively easy fix.
¡FELICIDADES! This is a fantastic milestone. Hopefully this will help save some jobs and create new ones on Florida's space coast and elsewhere. Way to go, SpaceX and everyone who is making this happen!

Hopefully we will not have to hire the Russians if we can get this program off the ground!
