I was watching the stream and there was five seconds left to lift-off, Then suddenly my internet decided to take a stuff and go out for a minute.

It keeps going until we lose communications with it. That's what probes do, they don't come back. Hell, I'm pretty sure we're still getting data from Voyager.

Yeah, we are still getting plenty of information from the two Voyagers. They will operate until like 2019 or something.

I'm watching the replay of the launch from the external tank. It's really cool to see the ground spinning away!

until we lose communications with it = Until aliens take it and turn off it's transmitter then use it to find earth and  come take all our minerals
OR
until it gets hit by a meteor
