Here's the official link, if you don't mind a lack of chat. (Or prefer, as I do)

Here is a better stream - it's SpaceX's official stream. Twelve minutes left.

I was thinking the same. Sounded like a lot of people talking and eating. They cut it out, though.

<chortles> But I deleted my 'cafeteria' post when they cut it out - now it's back.
Those first stage landings are awesome! Go SpaceX!

I've never watched a live rocket launch before... that was really exciting! Det watched it with me. I laughed with delight when they landed that first stage.
Is the second stage non-reusable?

Yeah, no way to re-use the second stage yet, as far as I know. That landing was beautiful though! I wish you could've watched when they were doing the first barge landings and nobody had landed a first stage yet. That was exciting!

I probably would've loved that. I know from Space Engine and Elite Dangerous (mostly Space Engine though) exactly how hard it is to pull off a landing that perfectly.
...I was cracking up at this one guy on the other stream who was claiming in the chat that the whole thing was CGI. You can go and watch it yourself on-site, you know.
