Congrats to all! It's amazing to see a stage on the ASDS and Dragon on it's way to the ISS. I get the feeling this is just the beginning of something we're going to see on a regular basis now!

Congrats to SpaceX for finally going and doing it! Fair winds and following seas to Dragon on her way to ISS with BEAM--and to OCISLY as she bears the booster home!

And congrats to this McDonald's for having wifi, too--I pulled in at T+37s and have been confusing the heck out of everyone here every since with the cheering. I'm a party of one if there ever was one. :)

Wonderful, amazing, fantastic - So glad I was able to watch it happen - can't catch every launch but I managed this one and got to watch the landing too. So pumped.

Going to have a Dragnog tonight to celebrate:

Advocaat, Absinthe, cream, and nutmeg
It is all well and good to quote those things that made it past your confirmation bias that other people wrote, but this is a discussion board damnit! Let us know what you think! And why!
