Congrats on another successful reuse! On to Sunday for another launch! Can't wait to see how toasty this stage is when it gets back to shore. :)

Who knew you could re-use boosters?  :o ;)

Maybe this one gets a *.3?

Nicely done, SpaceXers!

Congrats to SpaceX on their 8th launch by June 23rd, tying their high water mark from the last two years. Looking forward to seeing that broken in two days.

Awesome!  Two for two!  With Irridium’s interest, FH launches coming soon and SES already a convert, reusability may be about to enter the mainstream – at least for SpaceX if not the others.  Great job!

Many congratulations to SpaceX and BulgariaSat. Can't wait to see the landing video - I'm sure it's rather sporty! 

Once again SpaceX increases its disruptive momentum. It seems now that virtually all customers are asking 'when' rather than 'if' about booster re-use; an amazing development.

Congratulations to SpaceX, the Eastern Range, Bulgaria, and everyone else involved.  Great coverage as always here at NSF.

Just when the landings were starting to look routine, they go and push the envelope like this.  I can't wait to see the video of this one!

Congrats to SpaceX!  I got to see it live from the Visitor's Complex at KSC.  Wow, that is loud!  I have video, but not sure how to upload it here. Great job, and you impressed a ton of kids today!

Just wanted to add my name to the list of people sending their Congratulations in to SpaceX, the folks at the Cape & KSC, BulgariaSat, and all who had a hand in making the launch a success today!
 
Thanks for continuing to inspire us, and wishing you continued success in pushing the boundaries of what's possible!

Couldn't catch this one live so big thanks to the NSF crew for the updates.
Exciting to see how routine reflying a booster has become already- and don't forget this one had a much faster turnaround than CRS-8, an important step towards proving economic reuse.
Looking forward to the landing video. I wonder if there's enough room for a roomba under the core?
