I am hearing that the core booster did not make the barge landing and hit the water at 300mph and was destroyed. I hope that is not the case as it would be remarkable to have all 3 back safe and sound.

It would have been nice if the in-dash unit had been upgraded to a D710 for crossbanding. I presume Sir Isaac is inside the suit (who else would be driving?).

The launch was successful. Both side boosters landed at Cape Canaveral, with the status of the main booster pending. The second stage, including the Tesla, is now in LEO.
An excellent first launch for a new booster. Well done, SpaceX!
