SUCCESS!
Elon Musk @elonmusk 20s21 seconds ago
Rocket launch good, satellite in geo transfer orbit. Still so damn intense. Looking fwd to it feeling normal one day.
That is official as Elon likes to make these announcements.
Congrats to all involved. And thanks to Steven, Lars and others for the coverage!

Thanks again to Mark. The new server set up coped once again! Big peak into the launch, but seemed fine!

Well done to SpaceX for finding the one hole in the clouds at the Cape today! I wasn't sure there'd be one and was waiting for the no-go all the way into the last minute, but they did it anyway.

So congrats, SpaceX, Turkmenistan, Monaco, Thales, and all the rest, and congrats to this weather pattern for the first launch that didn't give me butterflies in the count...because I thought it would be a scrub!

Congrats SpaceX!
That was intense. Just before and after cutoff, there was a lot of vapor coming out of the engine that I never saw before (which of course doesn't mean it wasn't there). Anyway, it got my adrenaline going.
Good news!

Fantastic job by SpaceX and a special mention to the people in the Weather Office who were more than up to the task of launching a bird in dubious weather conditions... Well Done to One and All...

Congrats to the launch team for the 13 day turn around!
Welcome to the space club Turkmenistan!
And thanks to NSF for great coverage... Missed the launch in person, but the coverage from you all was (almost) as good. Special thanks to Steven -- day or night, no matter.
