It looks like the mission is a success with a nominal flight profile and payload separation into a nominal orbit.

"T+0:08:21 Falcon 1 reached orbital velocity, 5200 m/s - Nominal Second stage cut off (SECO) - Falcon 1 has made history as the first privately developed liquid fueled launch vehicle to achieve earth orbit!!!!!!"
