Now wake me up when SpaceX launches the Falcon 9 20 times per year...  ::) (nit: this is the launch frequency for the Chinese Long Marches, which all uses (very close to) the same first and second stage engines)

SpaceX do it again!

That was awesome. Dragon launches are the most exciting launches for me now. With every launch, SpaceX silence more and more who said it could never be done. Great to see them finally performing on what has been talked about for so long.

People, the era of CRS is here! :) :) :)
