The cheering in the background and the excitement in the broadcasters voices when the footage came through of the solar arrays deploying said it all.

My wife and I both watched it - almost brought tears to our eyes thinking that commercial space flights are now a reality. Such a momentous occasion.

The coverage on NASA TV was excellent.
