The launch went off in textbook fashion. The only anomaly--no show-stopper--was a pressure spike noted in the TCS (Thermal Control System)--for the Draco thruster system, if I followed them correctly. But they're still proceeding to conduct their first thruster burn (a phase burn, at the first apogee [the burn is occurring now]), at its originally planned time. They're taking a 27-hour, multiple-orbit-change ascent to the ISS. (Incidentally, the crew can even doff their space suits during the burns [they were just talking about it with the ground] as long as they're careful to not move around too much, which would impart unwanted impulses in unpredictable directions.)
