Congratulations to both SpaceX and Iridium!
With all these boosters coming back, SpaceX will soon have an issue where to store them... :p

Congratulations!
I will be in Orlando for a week in early May.
I am hopeful that with the increased launch cadence I might see my first launch!

Congratulations to SpaceX and Iridium for no 3 of 8.
Even though it was the 14th SpaceX launch this year I was still excited for liftoff. With Dragon2, FH (most likely) in the next year and BFR on the horizon I do not want any more hickups.
So lets stay that way.

Congratulations to SpaceX, Iridium, and the Vandenberg folks that make launches possible!
I missed the launch getting my kid fed and out the door, but managed to catch the 9th deployment. Always amazing to watch the payloads gently wafting away into the void to begin their life. Really liked the view of the "beads" as I am not sure I've ever personally seen that before.
