Yeah, I think it's the feather.  Dumbass decision cause it looks like someone forgot to clean the thing. 

Bridge/Gantry retraction. Tune in if you want to see some minor space history! It's great to see so many ventures working on spaceflight though

Yeah, I appreciate him spending his billions to further our race to the stars but that ship's shape is a perfect metaphor.

Sonic boom as the booster lands, pretty neat. Stuck the landing to boot! Seems like they've got a handle on their landing tech. Now we just gotta get the people back on the ground without becoming jello

Pretty cool. Landed like it was supposed to. 

main chutes out, 16MPH descent. That's a successful launch! Very cool.

I wonder if ULA is gonna start getting some more love now that Blue Origin isn't focusing on the Bezos flight

Man, I didn't see a visual indication of separation for a while.  Would have helped if we have a good audio feed of mission control.

I see movement inside, so they're alive. Did they overshoot the landing?

Bezo's is a known entity, but looked like Wally's welcoming crew may have some potential. 

I’d laugh my ass off someone stumbles across a rattle bug laid up in the sotol.

The FAA, responsible for protecting the public during commercial space transportation launch and reentry, said "SpaceShipTwo deviated from its Air Traffic Control clearance as it returned to Spaceport America" in New Mexico.

"Virgin Galactic may not return the SpaceShipTwo vehicle to flight until the FAA approves the final mishap investigation report or determines the issues related to the mishap do not affect public safety," the agency said.
