I'm in the UK and I set my alarm early and watched the whole thing using the NASA TV app without a glitch, which was a surprise as I expected the bandwidth to be hammered.
What an unbelievable achievement! The whole project was inspirational from a technical point of view and shows that you only push the boundaries when you take risks. From his comments, I felt Dave wanted this to fail so he could say 'I told you so'

That's the attitude you get from being immersed in too much systems engineering without looking out of the window.
NASA JPL employ the daring, the visionaries and the engineers - you need them all to do what they have just achieved. Incredible stuff.
