Anybody know if the car computer is running its full Ubuntu-based OS? In the Ubuntu circles I'm in nobody knows. It would actually answer that Linux community's running gag about planning for running its OS on Mars.

Eh, I wouldn't go too hard on then. What happened (is happening) today was probably the least likely outcome. Quite an amazing accomplishment.
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?).

Yes it was! Anyone know if Starman and the Tesla have a beacon?

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!
