Please express our deepest congratulations to all the members of your team.

Adding my voice to the chorus congratulating SpaceX on this historic achievement. Great work!

Praise for NASASpaceflight.com, too! Without this site, coverage of current spaceflight would be a lot less illuminated.

Mike notes that per historic events this rates at the top because of who SpaceX.

Notes it was a perfect flight up to the R-bar with the LIDAR.

"Don't really have the words. Were able to overcome some last minute issues. Great day for the country and the world. A significant historical milestone."

Wants to thank the SpaceX team, and a ton of people started cheering!

"We love you Elon."

"We love you guys too" :D
