I liked how Elon explained everything. They do their best to be as transparent as possible.
What I found most amazing was how they scrubbed the day before, had an ignition and failure on the second day, emptied the fuel and reloaded, and had a successful launch within the next hour.
It was obvious at the end of the video to see the "compensation" of the second stage. As Elon said, "...it is impossible to ground test the second stage under the same conditions..." I hope it is a simple fix.
I'm also curious as to why the first stage, when jettisoned, hit the second stage engine. It didn't look like something that should have happened. However, it didn't seem to affect anything.
Also, they need to clean up their communication a bit. During the ignition and failure, you could hear a few explectives in the background.
I don't think we'll be hearing that version of the launch.
Talk about transparency. I enjoyed it...but my kids were watching it along with me. 
Additionally, their video was rudimentary...it would be nice if they showed more than two angles. I guess all in good time.
Overall it was fun to follow, listen, and learn. I have a good feeling that we'll be hearing a lot more about these guys in the future.
