Hold the congrats...or post on the other threads. Still waiting for NRO or SpaceX to confirm successful mission.
No one's listening, so I'm locking the thread
Will unlock at S/C sep.

Launch and landing of the NRO spy satellite was good. Tough call, as high altitude wind shear was at 98.6% of the theoretical load limit.
Congrats to all involved. Thanks to Chris and Steven - and others - for the coverage!

Congrats to SpaceX, NRO, NASA, FAA, KSC Ops and of course our dauntless NSF reporters.
The footage of the first stage, from sep, all the way to return to LZ-1 was amazing, so super shout out to the crews on the ground who really improved the optics for this mission...

Congrats to SpaceX and everyone else involved on a "boring" launch and an epic landing. Special thanks go to the balky TOTO sensor - yesterday was more cloudy, so we can probably thank the epic views of the booster return on that.
