It shows the abort in the initial attempt and the launch until the camera cuts out.

Nice analysis of #2 btw. Will have to look into it in more detail when I have more time.
Thanks for the nod on #2.

I'd like to comment on #3, but aside from the aborted first try, the flight appeared nominal all the way through to the non-separation of stages 1 and 2. Not much to see, I'm afraid.

SpaceX has a nasty habit of cutting out their webcasts whenever anything goes wrong.

That's not only particularly secretive, it's not even nice!

If I set the budget, we'd have Ares and more. Unfortunately, I don't set the budget, and Ares is just too expensive and too far out for us to accomplish our goals within the budget we were given.

If we halt the ISS, all versions of Ares, and transport Orion and Altair aboard DIRECTv3's Jupiter family of Shuttle-Derived Launch Vehicles, we just might make it back to the Moon by 2020.
