Since this was clearly a highly exciting launch (/s), here are the only things that you really need to know:

Dropped the ball on my usual 24-hour bump, but ISS-bound Dragon launches today at 4:30pm Eastern. No landing - they're still plowing through boosters apparently.

NASA coverage is live. SpaceX coverage should be in 5-10 minutes.

I’m at Cocoa beach today. Had no clue this was happening but about 15 minutes ago a bunch of people started pointing their cameras toward Canaveral.
Looked like a successful launch. |

Experimental landing maneuvers? Interesting, but we won't hear any more about it, apparently.

Yeah, they've been doing a bunch of weird stuff on the landings lately for these launches where they're dumping the booster. Probably not much that's exciting for us laymen - just seeing how far they can push the limits and still keep things in control.

The sound was intense.
It was miles away from us but when the sound finally reached us it was like a subwoofer in my ear with the bass to the max. |

24-hour bump for TESS. The launches are becoming a bit mundane, but this is the coolest payload SpaceX has ever launched. Assuming the mission goes well, you'll hear about the exoplanet discoveries being made with TESS for years. Here's a brief overview video:
Aside from that, there's this goofy bastard.
