SECO, Dragon separation!!!!
Looks nominal all the way; Dragon is in orbit. Congratulations to SpaceX! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

<sound of a tuba groaning in agony @Dan>...
Yeah, wow, Dragon popped right off the second stage like it's done it a thousand times! Very impressive. Hope the rest of the flight is equally smooth. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Question: Was recovery of the first stage even attempted, or am I confused & thinking of F1?
