Falcon 9-Dragon Launch to ISS

Launched in fine form before dawn:


That second-stage engine nozzle bell glows nicely!

The launch narration has some mention of the descent of the first stage. The soft-landing of the first stage onto a barge didn't go so well. I presume they'll eventually get to recovering and reusing the first stages.

At this point, it's an engineering problem. So it's doable by the proper applications of brains and cash.
