Brilliant launch, on track through to separation.

Loss of telemetry signal after separation, apparently successful splash-downs of upper and lower stages.

It's pretty brave to stream these things live - it makes it tough to put positive spin on anything going wrong.

Congrats all around on a beautiful launch!
