Apart from loosing the central booster when it didn't fire enough engines to decelerate and hit the water next to the drone ship at about 500kph, everything else seems to have gone perfectly!
Starman is now on his way to the asteroid belt, and I'm not sure if that is because the burn went longer by design or accident. Coolness remains undiminished.
Showed the kids the videos of the animation and then the launch that was streamed. Then left on the live stream of the Tesla drifting away from Earth for a while, it was mesmerising.
It sounds like the battery has run out now, so there will not be any more images sent. I'll need to track down some of the last footage, as the receding Earth is just beautiful in those shots.
