The SpaceX Demonstration Mission 1 Flight has successfully completed as of 8:45am EST on Friday March 8, 2019. There were no issues, and this is the very successful first step towards the next flight (In-Flight Abort Test) that will take place in the next few weeks, using the same Dragon Capsule that completed the DM1 Mission.

I recently ran into an issue with my ThinkPad while trying to run VMware Workstation 15.0 when I had the Hyper-V role installed on Windows 10 Pro 1809.
