Yeah I was watching on NasaTV ... When that thing started rolling I was like "Oh god." and then the engines cut off. I thought the guy was done for. Did you hear them say later that they told him to abort and kill the engines but he left them on a few seconds longer to make the minimum altitude? Pretty amazing ...
