Those grid finds were getting well-cooked before the rocketcam got too schmutzed up and they cut the feed. 
It freezed before they cut it off...

Congrats to SpaceX and all the involved parties (esp SES for the courage) for creating a piece of space history!

While there are some excellent launchers from all over the world, I'l never look at any of them the same way again.

It doesn't seem that long ago that people were saying they would never pull off landings let alone re-usability and yet here we are. The innovation and rate at which spacex make progress is astonishing.
I didn't believe we would see humans on mars in our lifetime until I witnessed just how fast Spacex work....it's only the past couple of years that I have begun to truly believe.

Fly it again or park it in the rocket garden at KSC?
If it is indeed an early and possibly non-standard Block 3, there may be no particular benefit in flying it again unless they're getting short of cores.
There's going to be a point when these recovered Block 3 cores start being flown in expendable mode - if only because they're taking up valuable storage space!

I'd say another thorough inspection, a test fire, and on to the Smithsonian if they can find room for it.

Have I lost perspective on time or are we at just over 15 months from 1st landing to Reuse and Landing?

Bad day to be stuck in project meetings all day. This is history and wanted to see it live or at least online. Way to go SpaceX and congratulations!

With AMOS-6 in the middle.

"Looks like we're where we want to be!"

He looked at his screen for a bit and then said "good enough orbit". That 'enough' is enough to make me worry.
It also wonder about this, especially as the SES-10 deploy seems too early and surprising for everyone

Yeah I was just about to ask - did it not deploy a little early?

Why would it matter? After SECO2 it's just coasting.

Does it look like the rocket was pitched up relative to its exhaust angle in the last ~10 seconds before MECO to anyone else?

The press kit called for deployment at +00:32:03. Judging from the cheers on the webcast, deployment occurred just before +00:32:05.

I saw that. Wasn't sure if it was just the camera angle.
