Great way to start the month! Congratulations to SpaceX and the NRO. Best tracking camera footage ever.

I'll even excitedly look forward to "flags and footprints" and suborbital missions. Just fly...somewhere.

Missed the launch live, but what a spectacular replay. Congratulations to SpaceX, the range, Ball aerospace, and the NRO on a successful launch.
That brief view (darn the clouds!) of the stage oriented roughly vertically on the camera frame looked very cinematic due to the relative motions of the stage and camera. Really quite spectacular.

Congratulations to all involved for a successful mission.
It was awesome to see both launch and landing in person.

Congratulations to SpaceX, NRO, Ball Aerospace, the Range and all person involved. I find it more than ironic that the NRO launch gave us the best public views ever of the Falcon 9 launch. Those optics were amazing. Being able to watch the separation and first stage maneuvering from the side on real time was priceless.

Just caught up with the NSF coverage, thanks to Chris, Steven, et al. Congrats to SpaceX and their partners on keeping the cadence up.
I was at the in-laws for this one so whilst I couldn't stay glued to the laptop, I did persuade them to stick the webcast on the big telly. First one they had watched. Think I picked a good one

As someone who would pick up a sandwich and drive to the local airport during lunch and watch planes take off and land, I can say that I will never tire of watching rockets do the same. Just amazing. Congrats to all involved. Launches may become routine, but they will always be amazing.

Most hearty congratulations to all involved
To NRO: It is your "party". Thanks for inviting us to it.
To SpaceX: Gorgeous launch and landing. Another bulls eye, and astounding onboard video
To Ball Aerospace: Wonder what it was you built, but it flew nicely
To the Range: Well done.
To the camera operators: Spectacular tracking Loved seeing all those RCS firings, and the view of the braking burn!
To NSF: Great coverage (Steve!)
So worth it to be up in the early early morning. Great show
32 days from the last launch. Now about hitting the alluded to pace of every other week.....

I have confirmation that one-half of the fairing was recovered via parachute. My message said it was recovered from the water, intact.

Lunch Launch for me :-)
Beautiful! To see the flip like this was really special, as was the extreme closeup during landing burn, which really drove home how big this thing actually is!
Congratulations once again, SpaceX! Well done!
