Ah, OK. No worries then.
Orlando Sentinel is reporting that fire crews responded to a fire at a SpaceX building today, but little detail as what happened. Anyone hear anything more?
Report on the fire: https://www.wesh.com/article/firefighters-extinguish-fire-on-roof-of-spacex-building/10314885
Includes this SpaceX statement:
This afternoon a small fire occurred on the roof of a SpaceX building at Port Canaveral. Thanks to the Canaveral Fire Rescue and the Brevard County Fire Rescue, who responded within minutes, the fire was extinguished. There was no damage to any SpaceX equipment or hardware as a result of the fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
A crew was using a grinder on the side of the building Thursday or Friday. A hot ember sparked from that work landed on a piece of wood, and eventually ignited. It was accidental, he said.
It didn't end abruptly, and they did show the solar panel deploy. I was having drop outs on the SpaceX feed, needed to reload the page to get it back. Perhaps that happened to you at the end..
Maybe it depended on which feed you were watching. I was on the Spaceflightnow web window. Just a few seconds after they said, "one minute until solar panels deploy" the feed stopped and only showed colored bars. It didn't show the panels deploy, they didn't say goodbye, it just stopped.
Seems like an issue with SpaceFlightNow's own feed that was copying the SpaceX feed. Sort of like complaining that a copy of a copy of a copy is not as good as the original, or even the first copy.
I never watch SpaceFlightNow for a SpaceX launch. Sometimes beforehand, when the SpaceX webcast has not begun yet, and the launch is in doubt due to weather. But not after the SpaceX webcast is running on Youtube.
Does anyone know what they are doing with the second stages, are they d-orbiting them at all or letting gravity and time take it's effect?
Did they ever post a landing video for the barge landing for the flight before this one? As I recall it was a particularly hot landing and the video cut out during what was apparently some last minute maneuvers with the resumption of video showing safe landing but near edge of the deck. I remember wanting to see the whole thing but never saw a video.

That's the one I know I can find quickly and whose address my computer (and me) has memorized. Since my computer froze up and needed to be rebooted, causing me to miss the launch because it was taking so FREAKING LONG to restart and boot Chrome, I was lucky to see any of it let alone take the time to go look for a better feed.
What addresses do you use to find other feeds?
