I never watched one of these before ... T+13 shows Dragon deploying solar panels (really should to be called 'wings' I think). I think a second stage camera shows the Dragon with a some fairing panel spinning away from it. This is amazing!

#34"Stage 1 has been saved"!!! Edit: Apparently it's not what I hoped, http://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/2swnth/how_well_does... 'saved' and 'safed' are pretty similar on stream...
I don't think they said anything after "landing burn started". They like to milk news like that a bit.
I'm guessing they don't show it live because if something went wrong, they'd like to figure out why before releasing the video, like last time. Instead of just having a failure without the known cause...

#35 T+17m: Not a successful landing today.
Edit: "Looks like Falcon landed fine, but excess lateral velocity caused it to tip over post landing" @elonmusk

The reddit spacex thread suggests another 'hard' landing for stage 1. But sounds like they got close again. One day ... one day ...

#37"Official Rumour" is that the first stage hit the drone ship but did not land well.

#39"Ascent successful. Dragon enroute to Space Station. Rocket landed on droneship, but too hard for survival."
