Well that was impressive. I was glued to the feed for the launch brilliant stuff. The future of my childhood may not be cancelled after all.

If we start giving private companies free reign to do whatever the hell they feel like in space and cut all the corners they like that's a very very slippery slope.
What corners are they cutting? It all has to be certified to fly.
Exactly I don't believe he had cut corners ? engineering is meant to be fun ... we choose to because it's there
as documented, the payload was checked out
It's not orbiting the earth which is where our concerns about space junk are 
It's on a massive solar orbit.....you know, with all those other millions/billions bits of "space junk"....don't fret, I don't think private companies will be filling the solar system up with old CEO cars

just reviewing the rocket user guide http://www.spacex.com/sites/spacex/files/falcon_9_users_guide_rev_2.0.pdf
can't see the pricing - but shows the telemtry streams available - need a communications engineer to see why no 4k live stream
EDIT: Looks like video is sent on the S-Bands in this instance - quick google suggests around 25Mbit/s each for those theoretical max.

Cannot believe the utter nonsense i am seeing all over the internet from retards moaning about spending money on this, or sending a car up ect...
FFS what is wrong with some folk, were brains in short supply when they were conceived?

Lots of people want to be edgey and have no idea what they are talking about bout.
They have no idea it was the first launch, and had good odds of blowing up. Or it needed a simulation payload, or that it was testing for SpaceX first beyond gto flight etc. Or they hear space junk and don't have a clue what it's about, but moan anyway.

This is by far the best footage of the landing I've seen. Headphone user warning, the sonic booms are LOUD!
Omg, that literally gives me goose bumps and just looks like something from a Sci-Fi film
Just bloomin' amazing on every level; i'm in awe.

So many people are inward looking and short term in their thinking.
