This is the launch of the Dragon 9 / Falcon on October 7th, 2012 (10/7/2012). The video shows from T-00:01:00 through MECO (main engine cutoff). Congrats to SpaceX on another successful launch of the Falcon rocket, on path for a resupply to ISS! To watch the high definition SpaceX webcast from T-10 minutes through the end of the webcast, check out http://youtu.be/-Vk3hiV_zXU UPDATE: Regarding the anomaly at T+00:01:19, this is SpaceX's official statement: """"Approximately one minute and 19 seconds into last night's launch, the Falcon 9 rocket detected an anomaly on one first stage engine. Initial data suggests that one of the rocket's nine Merlin engines, Engine 1, lost pressure suddenly and an engine shutdown command was issued. We know the engine did not explode, because we continued to receive data from it. Panels designed to relieve pressure within the engine bay were ejected to protect the stage and other engines.
