SpaceX: Third Time not the Charm
Sadly, SpaceX wasn't able to make orbit last Saturday. Communications with the rocket ended a few minutes into the launch around the time of second stage separation. Apparently, second stage separation did not occur. This link includes video footage from the launch.

There's a bit of a peculiar rocking motion along the roll axis that appears controller related. The scene drifts slightly clockwise, stops abruptly, then rolls counter-clockwise and stops abruptly in that direction. You can see it in the clouds over the ocean. It looked to me like it was getting faster with burnout approaching.
