Congratulations to All parties involved.
If we keep this pace, definitely my daughter will decide to become a rocket scientist soon! Only 4 and still N°1 SpaceX fan in Argentina!
Careful, mine looks the launch on replay for hours. He's barely speaking and already knows how to say "cohete" ;-)

Congratulations SpaceX!
Glad they are mixing in some other tests soon to keep it from getting too boring

Listening back to the webcast replay, the initial orbit insertion was 208x175 km at 27.7 degrees.

My toddler's favorite phrase is "bye bye fuel tank". Stage sep is his favorite part of the launch.

Congratulations SpaceX!

Good work SpaceX. With CRS-7 in June they'll meet last year's entire launch total, on a once a month pace right now.
Good luck on the abort test!

Congratulations and well done to SpaceX and the Range personnel for a delightfully-routine launch in some hit-and-miss weather conditions.
And it's a strange realization for me, but the F9 stage 1 sure looked naked with no landing legs or grid fins. That's a mark of changing perceptions, I must say. At least on my part.

Congratulations SpaceX!
That's five launches in 3 months 17 days!
It is really rewarding to see you achieving a strong success again this year in ramping up your launch rate, while maintaining 100% success.
Great to see good old market competitive pressures coming to the space launch industry! And especially great to see the change that your successes have begun to effect at Arianspace and ULA too.

I know there's a LOT of SpaceXers here, but on behalf of the SpaceX team, many thanks for the congratulations! And thanks again for the top of its class coverage. I'm obviously busy during launches, but while these are great live threads, they are also superb for catching up on how you guys saw it.
I sometimes check back on the Falcon 1 launches to remind me how far we've come.
Thank you to Chris and everyone here on the best space site there is.

Congrats to SpaceX on another nice launch. Might be the only one, but I kind of like weather delays, it extends the proceedings a bit.

Congratulations SpaceX... You are making it look easy. Hope you rock the pad abort test... then on to CRS7 and nailing that landing! Here's hoping for lots more "flying down the nominal"[1]...
Now, about that tour??? Hey, I'm IN Los Angeles, so why not?
1 - do we have a new catch phrase???

Congrats SpaceX and everyone involved. These S2 restarts still keep the adrenalin pumping.
Looking forward to pad abort and CRS-7. Keep the great year going!

Congratulations to SpaceX on a superb launch and mission success. Great job on a pretty quick turnaround.
My wife and I greatly enjoy watching the launches together so know that you are helping grow happy marriages as well as launch payloads!

kudos to SpaceX on yet another fine display of rocketry. Is it just me, or is every launch worthy of a photo spread?

Any word on the timing of stage 2 prop purge, and likelihood of ground-based [or space-based?] observations?
