It is not hyperbole to say that there is a before and an after this day in the history of Humanity. After the Wright Brothers' third (and only proper) flight on December 17th 1903 their Wright flyer was turned over and crushed by a gust of wind, never to fly again. Only much later, at Huffman Prairie, did the Wrights start regularly taking off and landing and taking off again.
If the December 2015 SpaceX first stage landing was a Kitty Hawk moment of spaceflight, showing that recovery of a first stage was possible, then today is a Huffmann Prairie moment, where a dependable and reusable space launch system is first proven feasible.

AWESOME FLIGHT!
Big congrats to everyone at SpaceX for working 15 years to finally make that happen today.
Congrats to SES, the range,
Congrats to everyone at NSF, SFN, Youtube and everyone else who helped cover this.
Bonus screenshots: Ever wondered what it looks like to stare up a rocket's nozzle at the moment of ignition?

F9 has now flown twice as often as any other rocket this year- another first for SpaceX.

Amazing accomplishment. Huge congratulations to SpaceX for pulling this off. And thanks to SRS for being willing (and eager) to take the leap of faith.

Congratulations to the awe-inspiring team at SpaceX, who work tirelessly to lift routine, aircraft-like spaceflight operations further up the scale of Clarke's Law of Revolutionary Ideas:
(1) "It's completely impossible — don't waste my time";
(2) "It's possible, but it's not worth doing";
(3) "I said it was a good idea all along."

This is one of those 'Do you remember what you were doing when this happened?' moments.
Gonna need a bigger hat for this hat tip!

Thanks to all the team at NSF for superb coverage.
Congrats to SES for having the stones. To the SpaceX teams for getting this done, and to Elon, (who looked a little rough around the edges) for persevering to realise his dream, and to all of humanity... the cost of access to space has been lowered.

Congrats to SpaceX, Elon Musk and everyone that has ever worked for this to become reality, an worthy mention to SES for the awesome support and faith provided and not least, NSF and every space enthusiast.
And if in 15 years they revolutionized space launch beginning from scratch I have no doubt that a Mars colony in another 15 years is possible.
We are living in the true Space Age!

My first congratulatory post--this launch was worth it!
I think if anything, the comments on today's achievement have been understated so far. While there are still many questions to answer about how rockets will continue to evolve, I hope this day will be one that's noted as a tipping point for attitudes and approaches towards access to space in the coming years.
Huge thanks to everyone at SpaceX for making it happen, as this could not have happened without years of dedication and effort. Huge thanks to Elon for forging ahead with an optimistic vision through much opposition in a sometimes dark world. And, huge thanks to everyone here at NSF for taking us lurkers along for the ride as we all watched and tried to figure out whether it could ever happen.
