Falcon Heavy Launch [video]
As far as I'm aware, the cheering is outside of the main control room (which is where the broadcasters are).
Also: there are no people on board. If it blows up, it's "only" money that's lost.

Yes, big distinction between manned vs unmanned. I don't remember if the situation was the same for the first crew dragon launch. It's just something that stuck with me since watching one of the first broadcasts of high profile falcon launch.
